Sri Lankan swimmers, Vinoli Kaluarachchi and Cherantha De Silva did not have the scripted outing they hoped for in the two heats the duo participated in this morning.
Vinoli Kaluarachchi took part in the Women`s 100m Free-style heat 02, which she ended in the 6th position. Kaluarachchi commencing the race in the first lane clocked a timing of 1:02:25. It’s the best 16 athletes who progress for the next phase of the category, the semi-finals. Unfortunately, Vinoli was not able to be in that list to move ahead.
Cherantha De Silva participated in the Men`s 100m Butterfly heat 04. Cherantha who started off in lane 06 ended up being ranked 06th in the overall results. De Silva, who had a reaction timing of 0.64 clocked 55.91 for his 100m.
Cherantha has been picked up as a reserve swimmer for the semi-final of the category. If any player in the starting list fails to participate in the semi-final heat, De Silva will have the chance to compete for the final.
