Sprinter

For becoming Southeast Asia’s fastest woman

Shanti Pereira became Singapore’s sprint queen when she rewrote the nation’s 100m and 200m records several times in 2023 and clinched gold in both events at the Southeast Asian Games and the Asian Athletics Championships. She also earned a spot in the 200m semi-finals at the World Athletics Championships and qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympics—both first-time feats for a Singaporean.
