Shanti set a national record in the women’s 200 meter heats in Australia while Ang flew the Singapore flag high in Hong Kong as he won the men’s 110m hurdle final

SINGAPORE — Shanti Pereira and Ang Chen Xiang broke new national records in their respective track and field events, with Shanti creating waves with three record-breaking feats at the Australian Track and Field Championships in Brisbane. At the same time, Ang competed in the Hong Kong Athletics Series 3 competition.

Shanti’s first record-breaking feat at the Australian Track and Field Championships came in the women’s 100m preliminaries event on Mar 31. She came in first with a time of 11.38s. But the newly written national record did not last long as Shanti broke it again the next day in the 100m finals, winning the event with an impressive timing of 11.37, with Australia’s rising star Torrie Lewis coming in close behind her in second place with a time of 11.38s.

“Shanti first broke the national 100m record when she was 16. She’s had her ups and downs since then, which makes her even more a Singapore hero. Now at 26, she shows what guts and persistence are about. As she herself has put it, ‘Just continue growing into it because ultimately it is your journey. If there’s anyone that can determine how it turns out, it is you.’ said Senior Minister Tharman.
