No need for Shereen to be 100m sprinter, says Ballard


PETALING JAYA: National woman runner Shereen Samson Vallabouy is doing fine in the 400m event and there is no reason to shape her into a 100m sprinter.

Malaysian Athletics Federation (MAF) technical director Robert Ballard said Shereen was in the right lane in the 400m event as she prepares for the World Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, from March 21-23.
