UNSUNG HERO of SRI LANKAN SPORTS - R KARUNANANDA 1964 OLYMPICS

[Nazreendeen]

He Is A Legend But Unfortunately Most Sri Lankan's Don't Know About. In Sri Lanka They Should Teach Thinks Like This In School, Where Courage and Determination Highly Showed. If Japan Have a Chapter About Him In The School Books Why Can't Sri Lanka Do It. If You Agree With Me Thumbs Up!!!

A real Sri Lankan, a real LION and the real Sportsmanship! You deserve a bow.

「ゼッケン67」のカルナナンダ選手ですね。懐かしいです。小学­校の国語の教科書で読みました。

[ilovewathsala]

great..Sri Lanka is also the only country in South Asia to win Olympic medals in Athletics..They have won 2 Silver in 200m (in Sydney )& 400m hurdles..But Sri Lanka`s population is less than 1% of South Asia !

[nandanathirimanna]

He is a real sri lankan. According to my knowledge, he participated for this event with poor health conditions with high fever. This is a very good example for what courageous and determination are.

Younger generation should know how to respect the people like this. "Sira Dial Eka" what cheap words these are.

[pragzter]

Fight to the finish!

[MsHat7777]

he ran da mens 5000m n came to this with a bad cold n a weakened body

[MsHat7777]

he wasnt supposed to race in the 10000m but due to mistake he had to thus he was not trained to run 10000m

[cbmdata]

He did not won the race, but he won millions of hearts all around the world. Including winners heart. A true winning.
