Goh Chui Ling, originally a high jumper, has transformed herself into one of Singapore's fastest in the 400m and the first heptathlete in some years.

Khan Meng Linn's pet event was the high jump. After an unexpected breakthrough performance in the long jump at his first competition after National Service, he made it his pet event instead and is now Singapore's no. 1.

When Nurul Jannah Binte Mohd Zulkifli, then 15 years old, competed in the long jump at the 2007 International Children's Games in Iceland, a 5.68m effort not only earned the then Singapore Sports School student a personal best, but also ownership of the national age-group records for under-17, under-19, and under-23 girls, and the national youth record.
