2021 Jul 30Bringing pride to Sri Lanka, Yupun Abeykoon is inspiring, dedicated, fully focused, courageous, and determined to fulfil his goals. The rising superstar currently holds the record for South Asia’s Fastest Man. The Italy-based Sri Lankan Sprinter is also competing in this years’ Olympic Games taking place in Tokyo, Japan, between 23rd July and 3rd August. I will continue to do my best to keep the Sri Lankan flag flying high in the world. A major portion of Sri Lankan athletes makes career shifts due to the inability to continue their sporting careers.
