Sri Lanka’s NilukaKarunaratne did Sri Lanka proud by winning the gold medal in the men’s open singles at the Puerto Rico International Challenge, badminton sources told The Island.
Karunaratne had won all his matches to achieve this feat at the tournament which was held from November 2-6 at the city of San Juan.
Sri Lanka Badminton Federation President ParakramaBasnayake told The Island that the feat would certainly help Karunaratne in his quest to qualify for the 2012 London Olympics. (RN)
