Hamstring blow forces Shereen out of SEA Games title defence


PETALING JAYA: Just days before the Thailand SEA Games begin next Tuesday, the national athletics camp has been dealt a major blow after women’s 400m ace Shereen Samson Vallabuoy was forced to withdraw at the last minute.

A medical assessment issued by the National Sports Institute this week confirmed that Shereen has not fully recovered from a hamstring injury she suffered last month.
