Kristina Knott sets new SEAG, PH records to bag gold in 200m final

By Nick Giongco

CAPAS, Tarlac—Kristina Knott lived up to his lofty billing Saturday by winning the women’s 200-meter final in the 30th Southeast Asian Games.

Knott clocked 23.01 seconds, her personal best and a new SEAG and Philippine record.

Defending champion Le Thun Chin came second with a time of 23.45 while the Thai entry was third, 23.77.

But Knott’s time was not enough to merit an automatic slot to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics since she needed 22.80 to make the grade.
