Komalam and Norshafiez set personal bests

By G. ARAVIND
 
KOMALAM SHALLY SELVARETNAM and Norshafiez Mohamad Shah were the shining stars of the FTAAA MSSKL Throws, Jumps and Under Distance competition held today at the National Sports Council Track in Bukit Jalil after setting personal bests in their respective events.

Komalam set a personal best of 40.89 seconds in the 300m event thus improving her previous record of 41.03s.

Komalam, the sprint queen of Malaysia returned to competition after a nine-year hiatus. The Perak-born runner last competed at the competition as a 16-year-old for Perak and won a silver.

Komalam said this was her first competition of the year and she wanted to have the best possible start.
“I’m happy that I have improved my personal best but there is a long way to go until the SEA Games so I have to maintain this form throughout the whole year to be able to have a good chance of doing well in the competition.

Komalam will next be competing in the MASUM games next week in Penang.

“I will be taking part in the 4×100 and 4×200 relay events as I have decided to take a break from the individual events after the competition today.

Sixteen-year-old Norshafiez from Sekolah Sukan Tunku Mahkota Ismail was simply phenomenal as he created a new personal best with a jump of 1.95m in the high jump event to erase his previous best of 1.92m.

Norshafiez said his aim is to break into the two metre mark by the end of the year.

“Today, I’m very happy to have bettered my personal best but I will have to try harder to get past the two metre mark which is quite difficult.

He added the feeling of having secured first place gave him the confidence to go for more jumps as there was no pressure on him.
