Sri Lanka Athletics (SLA) has decided to conduct a time trial for top athletes instead of the national trials from October 23 25.
But SLA president Palitha Fernando said it was “too early to say” whether they could go ahead with the junior Nationals in November. The senior Nationals are scheduled to be held in December.
Meanwhile the Sports Ministry has planned to resume training in wushu, kabaddi, weight lifting and para athletics from next week in accordance with health guidelines.
According to the Sports Director General Amal Edirisooriya all pool athletes numbering 70 in five different sports will be part of this training program. (DR)
