SINGAPORE — Sprint queen Shanti Pereira will compete in a second event at the Paris 2024 Olympics after the Singaporean qualified for the women’s 100m through her world ranking.
Shanti Pereira said she is aiming to advance from the heats in her events.
Olympic qualification for athletics through world rankings was introduced only at the last Games in Tokyo and Pereira is the first Singaporean to do so, after WA finalised its Road to Paris rankings on July 7. However, she enjoyed a breakthrough 2023 in which she completed a historic women’s 100m and 200m double at the South-east Asian Games in May and the Asian Athletic Championships in July.
"I’m going to be doing two events, and I’m excited to be there to compete again with all these amazing girls."
