1. Shanti Pereira
Shanti Pereira is arguably one of Singapore’s most accomplished sprinters and this year, she has been on a winning streak.
In May this year, Shanti powered to victory in the 200-metre final at the 31st SEA Games with a time of 23.52 seconds. She set a new national record with her performance. Just days later, she finished second in the 100-metre final.
Earlier this month, at the World Athletics Championships, the runner clocked 23.53 seconds in the 200 metres and is now competing at the Commonwealth Games where she hopes to go even faster.
