Breaking Barriers: How Shanti Pereira found her speed

She is Singapore’s sprint queen. Quick, hungry, and ambitious. Yet between 2015 and 2022, Shanti Pereira's performances had stagnated. Thanks to a partnership with coach Luis Cunha, she has clocked a series of fast times over the past year. This is how Shanti found her speed. INTERACTIVE - See and hear how she did it: str.sg/iqpW

Even with juice she still couldn't get a medal at world champions what a shame

[@RemusRomulus]

I'm really surprised that so few people actually notice that she's juicing. Nevermind the quantum leap in her times, just look at the explosion in volume of her delts, it's unmistakable.

[@tom11zz884]

I saw her at the worlds, it was comical how the other athletes were so much faster than her..

[@danieltan2270]

So much crab in this thread 😅
