Time running out for Zaidatul to upstage Shanti as the Queen of Pace

SPRINTER Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli has entered a small circle of elite athletes who have earned the bragging rights as national record holders following her feat in the Perlis Open recently.

Thanks for stopping the clock at 11.49 seconds in the women’s 100m dash, Zaidatul has consigned G. Shanti’s 31-year-old record into the history books. Like Shereen Samson Vallabouy, Zaidatul belongs to the select few listed in the record books as current national record holders.
