Surprise to see able bodied Sri Lankan do well, incredible Saturday, 25 May 2024 01:58 PM

Nearly 90% plus of the time Sri Lankan doing well are in events for the handicapped. While this is Bronze level event, still might inspire other able bodies than can compete with people overseas. Anyhow where does he train, is it overseas?

Great and well done. Few success stories in a country rotting by the smell of politicians.

Among all individual achievements in all sports , men’s 100m sprint is considered the most prestigious in this world. So a Sri Lankan winning in an international 100m race should have been celebrated in whole of Sri Lanka like a “moon landing”.

How did he become that good Saturday, 25 May 2024 05:45 PM

If he was based in Sri Lanka, can other men be trained to get as good as he has become.
