HANGZHOU: National track queen Shereen Samson Vallabouy ended Malaysia’s 17-year medal drought in Asian Games athletics when she clinched bronze in the 400m final tonight.
The 25-year-old could not match the two Bahraini runners who made it a 1-2 finish, but a lung-busting final 200m sprint saw her cross the finish line third in 52.58s – slightly slower than her national mark of 51.80s – at the Hangzhou Olympic Stadium. Bahrain’s Adekoya Oluwakemi Mujidat clocked 50.66s to take gold while compatriot Salwa Eid Naser settled for silver with a time of 50.92s.Malaysia last won medals at the Asian Games at the 2006 edition in Doha, Qatar, through pole vaulter Roslinda Samsu and 400m hurdler Noraseela Khalid .
Rabuan Pit was the last Malaysian athletics gold medallist in the Asian Games when he won the men’s 100m final at the 1982 edition in New Delhi, India.
