PHNOM PENH: Shanti Pereira’s great run of form in 2023 continued on Monday (May 8) as the Singaporean sprinter took gold in the women's 200m final at the 32nd Southeast Asian (SEA) Games, smashing national and meet records in the process.

Pereira, who is the defending champion in the event, clocked a time of 22.69s at the Morodok Techo National Stadium.

This broke Singapore's national record of 22.89s - set by herself - as well as the SEA Games record of 23.01s, set by Philippines’ Kristina Knott in 2019.
