Shahd registers personal best on her Olympic debut
Paris: In her first Olympic appearance at the Paris Games, Shahd Mohamed recorded a personal best to finish seventh in the third preliminary heats of women’s 100m at the Stade de France on Friday.
The 20-year-old clocked 12.53 seconds as she finished 25th out of 36 sprinters. First three in each heat and next 5 fastest qualifiers advance to the next round.
Shahd, who specialises in the 400m race, was pleased to gain valuable experience and achieve a good time. She said she plans to come back stronger in future competitions. Shahd had previously won a bronze medal in the West Asian Championship in Iraq and a silver in the mixed relay in the same event. She also had the honour of carrying the Qatari flag alongside Olympic high jump champion Mutaz Barshim during the opening ceremony last week.
