(l) Dm Srilani Dhammika Menike was bom on 3rd February, 1970 for a careet of great fame and
urrivalled achievemdnts. At the 1992 Surnmer Olympic Games, in the women's 1,500 metres
el"ent she el'evated the country's name to the international arena. Undoubtedly, she is an unbeatable
heroine born in Sri Lanka who has made the country proud.
(l) She had her education at Manawila Upananda MV and at Sanghamitta BMV. Sriyani is an iron
goman who rose from tears and hardships. What made her stand out in the international Olympic
Games was her unflinching determination.
for the country.
(3 ) "We did not have even shoes to practice for competitions. We ran not for rnoney but
We wanted to do something good for the country." she revealed. Sriyani has been extolled as a
dedicated athlete even in her schbol days.
(4) One good example for this is the fact that she won the sprint events in the under 11 age category.
Moreover, Sriyani marked a milestone in her life by participating in the Asian Inter - Cities Meet
f- held in Singapore in 1985. Significantly, this was her maiden contribution to an international event.
(5) Needless to say, thatOlympic athletes like Sriyani are rare in Sri Lanka. Regrettably, no government

Lanka. Unfortunately, most of themhre no more. Atpresent, there are only 46 athietes alive. But
sadly, no government has taken measures to look after them. We ran not for money but for this
country. I suggest that the govemment grants a pension to the Olympic heroes in the country. It will
be a great relief to them."
((r) We all know that Olympic athletes dedicate their lives to the sport with the pure thought of bringing
pride and glory to the country at the expense of their own health and safety. That is why we as a
country are indebted to such athletes. However, sadly our country has not realised their value.
Though the thought of making a mint of money through sports had never come to their minds,
questions arise as to whether we have understood their untainted intentions.

) State whether the following statements are True or False by putting a tick (r/) in the relevant

(1) Sriyani represented Sri Lanka in 1992 Summer Olympic Games
