Today’s events
Sri Lanka could still keep its medal hopes alive as Mangala
Samarakoon is scheduled to fire in men’s 50m rifle three-position event
scheduled to be worked off at Aoti Shooting Range on Thursday morning.
But the same could not be said about swimmer Heshan Unanboowe who will
compete in men’s 50m backstroke first round heats on the same morning.
Among the other Lankans to be seen in action here on Thursday are
Navin Samarasinghe (squash - men’s singles first round), R.M.P. Ravindra
Raja (taekwondo – men’s under 80kg), Ishara Madurangi (table tennis –
women’s singles pre-quarter finals), Gihan Suwaris (squash – men’s
singles round one) and rowers Kanishka Jayaratne and Sanjeev de Silva in
lightweight men’s doubles sculls.
In beach volleyball Sri Lanka’s men’s team (Mahesh Perera and
Wasantha Ratnapala) and women’s team (Nirosha and Leena) are due to take
on South Korea and Japan in their respective matches. - GUANGZHOU,
