Shehan Ambepitiya was able to grab his 3rd gold medal at the Youth Commonwealth Games today. As I've mentioned in my previous post he was able to win the 200m race with a time of 21.27seconds.
Updates about the Youth Commonwealth Games have been really poor. No proper web site is available to get the latest results. Even Sri Lankan online news sites take few hours to update their sites about these wins.
Shehan's 3 gold medals are the only medals won by Sri Lanka at the games, up to now.
This win gives Sri Lanka a big hope of future international gold medals.
Shehan we are proud of you!
