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.
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. When she competed on a universality invite at the Tokyo Games in 2020, Pereira finished sixth in her women’s 200m heat with a season-best 23.96sec and did not advance to the next round.
She said: “I was struggling with my injury in April. Now, I’m back healthy, I’m training properly, I’m pretty much doing everything in training that I need to do and I’m not being held back because of any pain, so that’s already a very big thing for me.
