Zaidatul springs a surprise as Khairul fails to take off

Taking a breather: Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli cooling down after competing in the women’s 100m semi-finals at the Carrara Stadium yesterday.

THE fancied flopped while the unheralded delivered the unexpected.

SEA Games 100m gold medallist Khairul Hafiz Jantan failed to take off in the men’s blue-riband event while Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli stole the show by reaching the women’s 100m semi-finals.
