AT 29, it could be her last SEA Games, but Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli showed she had plenty left in her as she led a young quartet to break the national women’s 4x100m relay record en route to bronze at the Morodok Stadium yesterday.

Zaidatul, the second runner, combined well with Azreen Nabila Alias, Nur Afrina Batrisyia Mohd Rizal and Nur Aishah Rofina Aling to clock 44.58s to smash the time of 45.18 set at the 2017 Asian Athletics Championships in Bhubaneswar, India.
