A different training approach, attention to little details and a renewed love for the sport have led to a stronger and faster Shanti Pereira, who rewrote her own 100m national record yesterday. In her first official 100m race of the year at the Asian Athletics Championships...

This year, Pereira has adopted a different training approach under the guidance of her long-time coach Margaret Oh.

Oh, who was not surprised by Pereira's feat due to the improvements she had been making during training, said:"She's much faster and stronger now, with the help of staff from the Singapore Sports Institute who have helped her improve her strength and technique.Pereira said she has been working with a strength and conditioning coach who incorporates elements of speed and reaction into her workouts.

Her 11.58sec effort currently ranks her top in the women's 100m in South-east Asia this year, with Kristina Knott of the Philippines posting 11.64sec last month and Malaysian Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli clocking 11.65sec in February.
