The nine athletes and a manager vanished after completing their events, the official said, requesting anonymity. That prompted a police complaint by the Sri Lankan officials. “The police have not told us about their whereabouts.”Sri Lankan athletes have been reported missing from international events in the past. In October last year, Sri Lanka’s wrestling manager abandoned his team and disappeared in Oslo during a world championship tournament. During the 2014 Asian Games in South Korea, two Sri Lankan athletes made a run for it and were not found.
