The World Para Athletics Championships are set to begin tomorrow in New Delhi, ushering in an exciting week of top-level para-sport competition. Among the many inspiring athletes from around the globe, Sri Lanka will proudly see its first competitor in action on the opening morning.
Buddhika Fernando will represent Sri Lanka in the men’s 100 m T47 qualifying event, marking the country’s first appearance in this year’s championship schedule.

Fernando’s participation is a significant moment for the Sri Lankan camp, highlighting the nation’s growing presence on the world para-athletics stage. As the championship gets underway, all eyes will be on the New Delhi track to see how the talented sprinter performs and sets the tone for the rest of the Sri Lankan contingent in the days ahead.
Fans back home and across the region will be watching closely as Fernando takes to the blocks in the morning session, carrying the hopes of a nation and the spirit of perseverance that defines the World Para Athletics Championships.
