The darling of Singapore's track and field achieved a new national record in the 100m with a time of 11.20s and a new championship record in the 200m, finishing with a remarkable timing of 22.70s
SINGAPORE — Singapore’s sprint queen, Shanti Pereira, has been selected by Singapore Athletics as part of the 24-strong track and field contingent for the upcoming 19th Asian Games, to be held in Hangzhou, China, in September. The selection marks a significant increase in numbers compared to the previous Asian Games in 2018, where Singapore only sent eight athletes to Indonesia.
At the SEA Games in May, Pereira clocked a timing of 11.41s in the 100m event and set a new game and national record in the 200m race with 22.69s. There was no stopping Pereira as she set two new records at the Asian Championships in July. Ang competed at the Asian Championships in Bangkok, but his timing of 13.99 in the heats was insufficient to qualify for the finals. Ang was awarded a joint-gold medal with Thailand’s Natthaphon Dansungnoen at the SEA Games after the jury failed to determine a conclusive photo-finish winner.
