Both the results were regarded as upsets as Shehan toppled India’s Abdul Najeeb Qureshi who won the 200 meter defeating Shehan and was regarded as the hot favourite. On the other hand a woman from Pakistan winning the 100 M sprint was unimaginable as it did not happen before and the Pakistani women sprinter were never in the fray of the winners in the 26 year history of the SA Games.
