Talavou Alailima, the Chairman of the Organizing Committee, said, “The SportUnleash Throwers
Championships 2022 sets the foundation for a new culture of hosting competitions that are
Athlete centric. If we, as a country, desire to realize any noteworthy achievement in the World
Arena, every organized competition must ensure that the Athlete can deliver exceptional
performances. The SportUnleash Thrower Championships will be an example of what such a
competition would look like. We have set ourselves a high standard and plan to achieve them
each time until there is a paradigm shift in the Sri Lanka Athletics sphere.”
