Deputy Minister of Sports Sugath Thilakaratne says 2028 will be the year for Sri Lankan sportspersons to aspire for the Olympics.
Assuring that politics will be completely removed from sports, the Deputy Minister said plans to take all sports towards the Olympics will commence in the first week of January 2025.
“We cannot let the country’s sports stagnate. Issues within sports associations will be resolved promptly,” he said.
Calling on all to usher in a renaissance in sports, Sugath Thilakaratne said it was their responsibility to lead not only archery but all sports in the country towards international victories.
“Let us make 2028 a year to aspire for the Olympics. Together, let’s make the vision of a prosperous and beautiful nation through sports a reality,” he added.
