Sri Lankan Juniors lose the opportunity of participating in the U20 World Athletics Championship!!!

Published

The U20 World Athletics Championships are scheduled to be held in Cali, Colombia from August 1 to 6 this year. The squad of players representing Sri Lanka for the tournament had been officially announced. Five male players and two female players were selected for that.

Accordingly, Tarushi Karunaratne qualified for the women’s 400m and 800m events, while Amesha Hettiarachchi qualified for the women’s 400m hurdles event.

Hirusha Hashen has qualified for the men’s long jump event in the world championship and Pasindu Malshan has been selected to represent Sri Lanka in the triple jump event. Kaweesha Bandara has qualified to participate in the 110m hurdles event and Dhanuka Darshan has qualified to participate in the 400m hurdles event. A young Sri Lankan athlete was also qualified to represent the javelin throwing event in the Under-20 World Championship. He is Rumesh Tharanga.

However, these athletes have qualified for the World Championship Athletics Tournament for their skills, but due to the incompetence and irresponsible actions of the administration, these athletes have not participated in the World Championship Youth Athletics Tournament held in Colombia. That is because it is not possible to get air tickets to travel to Colombia. It is reported that the reason for this problem is that the Sports Ministry has allocated money for the tickets but did not reserve the tickets until the visas were received.

U20 உலக தடகள சாம்பியன்ஷிப் போட்டியில் பங்கேற்கும் வாய்ப்பை இழந்த இலங்கை இளையோர்!!!

U20 உலக தடகள சாம்பியன்ஷிப் இந்த ஆண்டு ஆகஸ்ட் 1 முதல் 6 வரை கொலம்பியாவின் காலி நகரில் நடைபெற உள்ளது. போட்டிக்கான இலங்கையை பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்தும் வீரர்களின் குழாம் உத்தியோகபூர்வமாக அறிவிக்கப்பட்டது. அதற்காக ஐந்து ஆண் வீரர்களும் இரண்டு பெண் வீராங்கனைகளும் தேர்வு செய்யப்பட்டனர்.

இதன்படி, பெண்களுக்கான 400 மீற்றர் மற்றும் 800 மீற்றர் போட்டிகளுக்கு தருஷி கருணாரத்ன தகுதி பெற்றுள்ள அதேவேளை, பெண்களுக்கான 400 மீற்றர் தடைதாண்டல் போட்டிக்கு அமேஷா ஹெட்டியாராச்சி தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளார்.

உலக சம்பியன்ஷிப் தொடரில் ஆண்களுக்கான நீளம் தாண்டுதல் போட்டிக்கு ஹிருஷா ஹஷேன் தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளதுடன், மும்முறை தாண்டுதல் போட்டியில் இலங்கையை பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்த பசிந்து மல்ஷான் தெரிவாகியுள்ளார். கவீஷா பண்டார 110 மீற்றர் தடை ஓட்டப் போட்டியில் பங்குபற்றுவதற்கு தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளதுடன், தனுக தர்ஷன் 400 மீற்றர் தடை ஓட்டப் போட்டியில் பங்குபற்றுவதற்கு தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளனர். 20 வயதுக்குட்பட்ட உலக சம்பியன்ஷிப் போட்டியில் ஈட்டி எறிதல் நிகழ்வைப் பிரதிநிதித்துவப்படுத்துவதற்கும் இலங்கையின் இளம் தடகள வீரர் ஒருவர் தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளார். அவர் ருமேஷ் தரங்கா.

எனினும், இந்த விளையாட்டு வீரர்கள் தங்களது திறமைக்காக உலக சாம்பியன்ஷிப் தடகள போட்டிக்கு தகுதி பெற்றுள்ளனர், ஆனால் நிர்வாகத்தின் திறமையின்மை மற்றும் பொறுப்பற்ற செயல்களால், இந்த விளையாட்டு வீரர்கள் கொலம்பியாவில் நடைபெறவுள்ள உலக சாம்பியன்ஷிப் இளைஞர் தடகள போட்டியில் பங்கேற்க முடியாமல் போயுள்ளது. கொலம்பியா செல்வதற்கு விமான டிக்கெட்டுகளைப் பெற முடியாது என்பதே அதற்குக் காரணம். விளையாட்டுத்துறை அமைச்சகம் டிக்கெட்டுகளுக்கு பணம் ஒதுக்கியிருந்தாலும், விசா கிடைக்கும் வரை டிக்கெட்டுகளை முன்பதிவு செய்யாததே இந்த சிக்கலுக்கு காரணம் என்று தெரிவிக்கப்படுகிறது.

Sri Lanka’s rising athletics star Rumesh Tharanga Pathiragae reinforced his status as one of the world’s premier javelin throwers by capturing gold at the prestigious Ostrava Golden Spike meeting in the Czech Republic on Tuesday.

The 23-year-old delivered another commanding performance at the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold event, producing a winning throw of 86.57 metres to finish comfortably ahead of a high-quality international field.

Rumesh signaled his intentions from the outset with an opening effort of 85.87m before improving to 86.30m in the second round. He then produced his best throw of the day, 86.57m, in the third round, a mark that remained unbeaten for the rest of the competition.

Grenada’s double world champion Anderson Peters had to settle for second place with 84.27m, while South Africa’s Douw Smit completed the podium with a throw of 83.90m.

The latest triumph comes just weeks after Rumesh announced himself on the global stage with a sensational 92.62m effort in Rome, a throw that elevated him to eighth place on the all-time world rankings and established him as a genuine contender for major international honours.

Unlike in Rome, where he arrived as an emerging talent, Rumesh entered the Ostrava meet carrying the weight of expectation. Widely regarded as the athlete to beat in men’s javelin this season, the Sri Lankan was among the headline attractions of the competition and featured prominently in pre-event promotions.
