SHEREEN Samson Vallabouy came to Cambodia with a huge weight on her shoulders. And she unloaded it in style when she fulfilled her dreams of becoming a SEA Games champion, just like her famous parents.

Shereen nailed the women’s 400m gold at the Morodok Techo National Stadium yesterday, leaving the second placed runner more than half a second behind her.
