Pereira was introduced to track and field when she was in Primary Three at CHIJ (Katong) Primary,[10] after watching her elder sister compete in a school race.[11] She subsequently enrolled in Singapore Sports School, where she led them to the C Division team championship at the National School Games.[11] Pereira then studied for a diploma in sports and leisure management offered jointly by Republic Polytechnic and Singapore Sports School.[12] In 2017, she was awarded the Yip Pin Xiu Scholarship to study accountancy at Singapore Management University.[13] In 2018, she lost the scholarship, being unable to keep the minimum GPA requirements.[14] Pereira eventually graduated in 2021.[15]
Running career
Youth
Pereira set a number of records in her youth. She holds the U-23 records for the 100 m (11.80s) and 200 m (23.99s) and was a member of the teams which set the records for the 4 x 100 m (46.64s) and 4 x 400 m (3:44.80) relays; the U-19 records for the 100 m (11.89s) and 200 m (23.99s); the U-17 records for the 100 m (12.21s) and 200 m (24.92s); and U-15 records for the 100 m (12.68s).[16]
At the 2015 Southeast Asian Games, Pereira won the bronze medal in the 100 m with a time of 11.88s, Singapore's first medal in the event in 42 years.[19] She also won the gold medal in the 200 m with a time of 23.60s, rewriting the national record she had set in the day's heats (23.82s);[20] this was Singapore's first gold medal in a sprint event in the SEA Games in 42 years.[21] Although the Singapore quartet which she was part of came in fourth in the 4 x 400 m relay, it broke the oldest record in Singapore's athletics history with a time of 3:40.58.[22] In her final event, the 4 x 100 m relay, the team came in fourth, but set a new national record of 45.41s.[23] At the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, Pereira won the bronze medal in both the 100 m and 200 m; she repeated this double at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games.[24]
In 2021, Pereira qualified for the 200 m in the 2020 Summer Olympics through universality places.[25] She finished 6th in her heat with a season-best time of 23.96s.[26] At the 2021 Southeast Asian Games, Pereira won the gold medal at the 200 m with a time of 23.52s, rewriting the national record she had set in the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.[27] In the 100 m, she won the silver medal, clocking 11.62s.[28]
At the 2022 Commonwealth Games, Pereira clocked 11.48s in the 100 m heats, breaking her previous record of 11.58s set in 2019.[29] However, her time of 11.57s in the next round was unable to earn her qualification for the final.[30] In the 200 m, she also broke her previous record with a time of 23.46s.[31] She clocked the same time in the semifinal, placing 11th overall among 24 runners. In October 2022, Sport Singapore announced that Pereira was one of seven athletes who had joined the 2022 Sport Excellence (Spex) Scholarship programme; she was previously a Spex scholar between 2016 and 2018.[32] She had lost the Spex scholarship in 2018 as she was unable to medal at the 2018 Asian Games.[14]
2023: breaking records
2023 was a watershed year for Pereira. On 3 March, she clocked 11.46s in the 100 m heats of the New Zealand Track and Field Championships to rewrite her national mark.[33] While she ran 11.44s to win the bronze in the final, this was not recognised as a record due to the strong tailwind (3.4 m/s).[33] On 25 March, she clocked 23.16s to break her 200 m national record after finishing third at the Brisbane Track Class.[34] On 31 March, she rewrote her 100 m national record after running 11.38s at the Australia Open; she lowered the mark to 11.37s when she won the final the next day.[35] On 2 April, she ran 22.89s in the 200 m at the same meet, rewriting her national mark yet again and becoming the first Singaporean woman to run under 23s.[36] 2023 was also the year Pereira became the first Singaporean to top World Athletics' women's 100 m outdoor rankings in Asia.[37]
At the 2023 SEA Games in Phnom Penh, Pereira successfully defended her 200 m title; her time of 22.69s not only rewrote the Singapore record, but the SEA Games record as well.[7] She also won the 100 m, becoming the first Singaporean woman to win the sprint double at the SEA Games.[38] In the same month, she ran 11.34s and 11.26s in the heats and final respectively at the International Pentecost Sports Meeting in Rehlingen, rewriting her national mark twice in the same day and setting a Southeast Asian best.[39]
2023 Asian Athletics Championships
On 14 July, Pereira won the 100 m at the Asian Athletics Championships with a time of 11.20s, rewriting her national record for the sixth time in 2023[40] and becoming the first Singaporean to win a gold at the championships; this also ended Singapore's 16-year medal drought at the continental meet.[4] Two days later, Pereira won the 200 m as well, with a time of 22.70s, setting a new championship record.[8] On 30 July, she claimed gold in the 200 m at the Mittsommernacht Athletics meet in Berlin with a time of 23.32s, beating Gina Lückenkemper, the reigning European 100 m and 4 x 100 m champion.[41] On 5 August, Pereira clocked 23.38s to win the 200 m at the Folksam Grand Prix held in Malmö, Sweden; she narrowly missed out on the 100 m gold, finishing 2nd with a time of 11.50s.[42]
2023 World Athletics Championships & Qualification for Paris 2024
Following her results throughout the year, Pereira became the first Singaporean to qualify for the World Athletics Championships on merit. She had competed at three previous world championships, but as a wild card entrant.[43] Her qualification for the 2023 World Athletics Championships was via her world rankings position of 23rd in the world for the women's 200 m and 47th for the women's 100 m.[44] She became the first Singaporean to quality for the Championships on merit and also the first to compete in more than one event at the World Athletics Championships.[45] At the competition, Pereira finished 4th in her 100 m heats with a time of 11.33s. She missed out on a place in the semi-finals, placing 31st out of 54 runners overall and achieved the highest placing among all the Asian athletes who took part in the 100 m.[46] However, she qualified for the 200 m semi-final with a new national record time of 22.57s, placing 12th overall in a field of 44.[5] This made her the first Singaporean to ever progress to a semi-final at the World Championships.[5] Pereira also qualified for the 2024 Paris Olympics by meeting the Olympic Qualifying mark of 22.57s, thus becoming the first Singaporean to qualify for the 200 m event at the Olympics.[47] Pereira ended her World Championships outing, finishing 6th in her semi-final heats, clocking 22.79s.[48] She placed 17th overall in the semi-finals, in a field of 23, also achieving the highest placing among all the Asian athletes who took part in the 200 m.[49] On 4 September, Pereira finished 4th in both the 100 m and 200 m at the Galà dei Castelli in Bellinzona with a time of 11.43s and 22.88s respectively.[50] Two days later, she finished 6th in the 100 m at the Palio Città della Quercia in Rovereto with a time of 11.52s.[51]
19th Asian Games
Pereira competed in the 100 m, 200 m, and 4 x 100 m relay at the 2022 Asian Games in Hangzhou (delayed till 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). On 29 September, she made the 100 m final after finishing 3rd in her heat with a time of 11.42s. She missed the two automatic qualifying spots but made the final by virtue of clocking the fastest time outside the six automatic qualifiers.[52] In the final, she clinched silver with a time of 11.27s, being edged out by China's Ge Manqi by 0.04s; this was the first Asian Games track and field medal for Singapore in 49 years.[53] The next day, Pereira qualified for the 200 m final with a time of 23.14s, the fastest in the heats.[54] In the final, she won gold with a time of 23.03s, also ending Singapore's 49-year wait for a gold medal in track and field at the Asian Games since Chee Swee Lee's triumph in the women's 400 m back in 1974 Asian Games.[55] In the final of the 4 x 100 m, Singapore finished 5th with a time of 45.34s.[56]
Preparations for Paris 2024
As part of preparations for her 2024 season and for the Paris Olympics, Pereira was entered for a 400 m race at the Florida Relays on 30 March. Though she finished 5th, her 53.67-second effort eclipsed the 54.18sec mark set by Dipna Lim-Prasad that won her a silver medal at the 2017 SEA Games.[6] With this record, Pereira now holds the national record in all four sprint categories.
Injury setback
On 15 April, it was reported that Pereira had suffered a stress injury in her fibula. This meant that she would miss her debut in the Diamond League competition in Xiamen and Shanghai, as well as two major meets in Japan.[57]
On 6 July 2024, Pereira was unveiled as one of the flag bearers for the Paris 2024 Olympics, alongside Team Singapore sailor Ryan Lo.[58]
On 12 July 2024, it was announced that Pereira had qualified for the 100m at the Paris 2024 Olympics by virtue of her world ranking.[59] She had earlier already qualified for the 200m by meeting the Olympic entry standard.
2024 Paris Olympics
Pereira did not qualify for the 100m semi-finals, and she finished 55th out of 72 athletes overall. Her time of 11.63s placed her 7th out of the nine runners in her heat.[60]
In the 200m, Pereira clocked 23.21s in Round 1, finishing last in Heat 5. With 6 slots up for grabs in the repechage, Pereira again placed last in Heat 1 with a timing of 23.45s, bowing out of the 2024 Paris Olympic games, finishing 31st out of 45 competitors.[61]
Personal life
Pereira's life journey has been chronicled by her older sisters, Valerie and Shobi Pereira, in the children's book, Go Shanti Go![62]
Pereira has been engaged to former national sprinter and 2x SEA Games bronze medalist, Tan Zong Yang, since 12 June 2024.[63]
