Just as she was making her way out of the mixed zone after winning an Asian Games 100m silver medal on Saturday, Shanti Pereira spotted her coach Luis Cunha and turned back to share an emotional hug with him.
It was a moment that meant the world to the duo. Just minutes ago, the teary-eyed Pereira had finished second in the women’s 100m final at the Hangzhou Games after clocking 11.27 seconds.
Speaking to reporters after the race, Pereira said: “It just feels incredible – I knew I had to give my absolute all today. I was up against really stiff competition. It was indeed tough competition at the Asiad for Pereira, who had won the 100m and 200m events at the Asian championships.
