Sports Omel and team set to keep Sri Lanka’s 400m legacy alive Published 13 mins agoon 2026/04/5 Omel Shashintha Sri Lanka’s long-standing dominance in the men’s 400 metres received another major boost as talented young sprinters, led by Omel Shashintha, delivered outstanding performances at the Junior Selection Trial held at Diyagama earlier this week. The trial was conducted to select the national team for the upcoming Asian Junior Athletics Championships scheduled to be held in Hong Kong from May 28 to 31. The performances at the meet underlined that the 400 metres — widely regarded as Sri Lanka’s signature track event — continues to produce athletes capable of maintaining the country’s proud tradition. Shashintha produced the highlight of the meet with a brilliant sub-46 second run to win the men’s 400 metres. The St. Sebastian’s College, Kandana athlete clocked an impressive 45.79 seconds, a time that would have been competitive even at senior national level. His performance currently stands as the fastest time in Asia in his age category this year and matches the 12th fastest time in the world so far in 2026, recorded by South Africa’s Kryn Romijn. While Shashintha was the only athlete to dip under the 46-second barrier, two other promising runners also achieved the qualifying standards for the World Junior Athletics Championships which will be held later this year in Oregon, USA. Representing Kurunegala District, Sadew Rajakaruna finished second in 46.39 seconds, while Thisen Ranvidu of St. Peter’s College clocked 46.83 seconds to secure the required qualifying mark of 47.40 seconds. Another promising athlete, I.M. Bogoda, narrowly missed the qualifying standard but came close with an encouraging performance. The impressive depth displayed in the one-lap event also raises hopes of Sri Lanka fielding a strong 4×400 metres relay team at both the Asian Junior Championships and the World Junior Championships later this year. Shashintha and Rajakaruna further strengthened their credentials by achieving qualifying standards in the 200 metres as well. Shashintha clocked 21.22 seconds, while Rajakaruna recorded 21.07 seconds, underlining their versatility across sprint events. Both athletes already possess valuable international exposure, having competed alongside senior athletes on the global stage. Shashintha and Rajakaruna represented Sri Lanka at the World Athletics Indoor Championships last year, experience that is expected to benefit them gre...
