Roshan Dhammika Ranatunga has brought pride to Sri Lanka at the Malaysian Open Athletics Championship 2026. He won the silver medal in the men’s 110m hurdles.
Behind achieving such a victory on an international track is a story of dedication and sweat and tears that cannot be put into words. A hurdles event in particular is a sport that demands speed as well as maximum technical discipline and concentration. In this case, even a difference of one hundredth of a second can turn the outcome of the entire competition upside down.
Amidst such fierce competition, Roshan’s ability to win an international medal for Sri Lanka is truly commendable. This achievement is not only another milestone in his sporting career, but also a solid foundation for him to lay for major international competitions in the future. Talents like this give us great hope for the future of athletics in this country.
