Annastasia became the first woman walker from Malaysia to qualify for the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. At the age of  21, she finished a creditable 24th out of 46 qualifiers with a national record of 45:47.00 in the 10km race.

Annastasia established a new national record in the 10km Race Walk with a time of 45:47 at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996, competing against more than 80 of the world’s best walkers.
