Singapore athletes are taking a great leap forward, with all four national records in women's jump events broken this year.

Michelle Sng cleared 1.84m in the high jump at the Philippine National Open-Invitational Athletics Championships and Rachel Yang soared past 3.83m in the pole vault at the Malaysia Open in March.


Lynette Lim rewrote the triple jump mark with a 11.94m effort at the National Inter-Schools A Division competition in April while Eugenia Tan dazzled with her 5.94m long jump in the Singapore Athletics Track and Field Series 4 last week.


Said Sng: "It was a proud moment when I got the message that Eugenia broke the long jump record. That all four records were broken this year says a lot.


"Records are meant to be broken. It's great for the sport if you see others coming close to it."


The long jumper, along with three other national athletes - race walker Edmund Sim plus long-distance runners Jeevanesh Soundararajah and Banjamin Quek, were present at the launch of the Asics Suntec City store on Thursday.


Its FOOT ID system offers customers a free analysis of their feet shape and size, as well as how they run, to help them make the right shoe purchase.

Two more national records fell on Saturday at the Taiwan Open, adding to the women's 4x100m mark set on Friday.

Hurdler Dipna Lim-Prasad set a new 400m hurdles mark of 59.59sec in the heats, breaking her previous mark of 59.86 set in March. She qualified for the final, which will start on Saturday evening.


Pole vaulter Rachel Yang also set a new national record with a 3.85m effort at the same meet. It eclipsed her previous record of 3.83, and saw her finish fourth overall, one place ahead of 2013 SEA Games bronze medallist Riezel Buenaventura of Philippines.


On Friday, the quartet of Lim-Prasad, Shanti Pereira, Wendy Enn and Smriti Menon had set a new 4x100m record with a time of 46.44.
