Fernando said that over 900 technical officials from South Asia took part in this seminar, including 14 from Sri Lanka who were selected by the AASL.

“We are planning to organize our age group championship before the end of this year and it is most important for the athletes as these are age group events, said Fernando. He further went on to say that all national level athletes are keeping themselves trained as much as they are able to at home and that the national pool will be broken down into three categories for sprinters, jumpers, throwers and middle-distance runners.
