Sri Lankan athletes and athletes have participated in several sporting
events in Switzerland and India.Sri Lanka's national long
jump champion Lakshini Sarangi Silva won the gold medal in the 6.33m long jump
(women's) on the 11th of June 2022 Swiss Athletics Championships in
Switzerland on Saturday. In her final attempt, she set a world record of 6.33 m (+
2.4m / s). However, her best legal jump was 6.29 meters. There was a sharp
competition for the long jump event of this tournament which is being held as a
continental competition of the World Athletics Association. Munoz Rocia of
Chile was ahead until the fourth round of the event, when her best was 6.28
meters.
The tournament is a Group C tournament and Sarangi won the first place in the event and will receive sixty bonus points. She also has 1,172 points for her best jump.To qualify for the World Athletics Championships to be held in the United States from July 15 to 24, Sarangi must be in the top thirty-two in the high jump rankings. And before long jumper Sarangi Silva, who competed in the 68th ORLEN Janusz Kusocinski Memorial Meet 2022, the gold medal athletics meet in Poland, finished sixth in the women's long jump event. Sarangi's performances at the tournament were inferior to those of the last few tournaments in which she participated, but the bonus points she received as the tournament was a gold medal event were crucial to her qualifying for the World Athletics Championships.
Sarangi won the first place with a distance of 6.35 meters (0.5) and Serbia's Milica Gardasevi won the first place with a distance of 6.81 meters.Sri Lankan athlete Sarangi Silva holds the national record in the 6.65m long jump (women's) event in Switzerland. She also won the gold medal in the 6.38m high jump (women) at the 2019 Kathmandu SAG Games Meanwhile, Sri Lanka's
long jump champion Danushka Sandaruwan won the gold medal in the men's 8.03m
long jump event at the Advanced Athletic Promotion Athletics Championships in
California, USA on Saturday the 11th of June 2022.
National Athletics Coach
YK Along with Mr. Kularatne, she is currently participating in athletics
competitions in several European countries. Chili Kridika Rokio finished second
in the Swiss Athletics Championships at 6.28 meters.
Danushka Sandaruwan, a
resident of California who excelled in residential training, clocked 7.99
meters in her first event. At one point he developed a skill of up to 8.10 meters,
but it was not considered an official skill under the influence of the
prevailing wind speed at that time.
Meanwhile, at the Swiss
Athletics Championships in June 2022, Sri Lankan javelin thrower Sumedha
Ranasinghe placed fourth with a minimum of 70.21 meters. Britain's Daniel
Bainbridge won the event by 71.23 meters.
However, Sumedha
Ranasinghe finished fourth in the javelin throw event. He, who holds the Sri
Lankan record (83.04 meters) in this event, has recently set a maximum record
of 82.16 meters. But to be recommended for the upcoming World Championships, he
has to perform at least 85.00 meters.
Meanwhile, Sri Lankan
athlete Gayanthika Abeyrathne, who is hoping to be nominated for the World
Championships in Athletics, which starts on July 15, 2022, in Isuzu, USA,
finished seventh in 2 minutes 03.62 seconds. Accordingly, her talents have not
come to the fore in this tournament. The Sri Lankan athlete, who previously
clocked a time of 2 minutes 01.44 seconds, must show a minimum of 1 minute
59.50 seconds to qualify for the World Athletics Championships.
Kalinga Kumara, another
Sri Lankan athlete who measured his performance at the Swiss Championships on
June 12, 2022, clocked 46.42 seconds in the men's 400m event. Trevor Stebert of
the United States won the gold medal in 44.99 seconds, dropping Kalinga
Kumarage's place to sixth.
His best performance in
Sri Lanka so far was 45.97 seconds. To enter the Isuzujin World Athletics
Championships, he must clock a minimum of 44.90 seconds. Sugath Tillekeratne's
Fracona's record of 44.61 seconds in 1998 is the Sri Lankan record in the 400m
(Men ') event which has not been broken so far.
However, the results of
yesterday's match show that some of the Sri Lankan athletes who were sent to
Switzerland could not reach the desired goal. Athletes have until June 27 to
receive nominations for the Isuzu World Athletics Championships. However, so far,
no Sri Lankan athlete has been able to obtain a recommendation from the
qualifying list. To this end, the Sri Lanka Athletic Association has provided
the opportunity for a group of Sri Lankan athletes who are approaching the
'bar' to participate in several international competitions in Europe.
