The 26-year-old has been training full-time since January, after it was announced last November that she would join the Sports Excellence Scholarship programme, which supports athletes headed to major Games.
Pereira has had a stellar 2022.
She won gold and set a national record in the 200m at the 31st SEA Games in Vietnam, in addition to clinching silver in the 100m. Pereira would go on to lower that 200m record once more at the Commonwealth Games.
Among the competitions in the pipeline for Pereira this year are the SEA Games in May – where she is looking to retain her 200m crown – as well as the Asian Athletics Championships, World Athletics Championships and Asian Games.
