SINGAPORE: National sprinter Marc Louis is set to make his Olympic debut at the July 26-Aug 11 Paris Games after the 21-year-old’s universality spot was confirmed by World Athletics (WA) on Wednesday (July 10).
With sprint queen Shanti Pereira having qualified for the women’s 200m at Paris 2024, Singapore is allowed to enter its best-ranked male athlete in the 100m, 800m or marathon – based on results between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024 – through the universality quota if no one has qualified outright.
