Niluka reaches 48th place in
BWF rankings
Sri Lanka's number one badminton player, Niluka Karaunaratne has climbed to the 48th position in World rankings. The latest rankings were issued on Thursday. Karunaratne, placed 26th
slot among the 38 badminton players already qualified for London
Olympics, skipped the recently held Asian championships in order to keep
himself fit for the pinnacle event.
"In Sri Lanka, there's no one to give me a tough match. Because of
that, I decided to play international tournaments and came this far. As I
won in many tournaments, McLerances Limited helped me a lot" "I believe
at-least now, the badminton officials in Sri Lanka would give me a
proper recognition, putting aside their personnel agendas" Karunaratne
said. Karunaratne is planning for three months intense training prior to
London Olympics.
