          Sri Lanka’s top sprinter and Olympic medallist Susanthika Jayasinghe recently announced she is hanging her boots after an athletic career spanning nearly a decade and half.

          She has done Sri Lanka proud since winning a medal in the sprint events in the Olympics is not an easy thing, says P T Usha, former Asian sprint queen and Susanthika’s contemporary.

          Good physique, good frequency and good style of running are her hallmarks and on account of that she stayed long in the athletic circuit P T Usha observes.

          Susanthika’s success culminating in an Olympic medal is the result of hard working and powerful running says former athlete and Asian Games champion Shiny Wilson from India who has participated in four Olympics.

          In spite of certain difficult periods in her career she bounced back to claim a place for her in the Athletic Field.
