Well…time passed and things changed. There were only dreams and dreams for performance. Things went accordingly until sometime. Sigh of relief I expected not was in my way, but it is indeed a relief.
I don’t think someone was expecting to meet me there in Belgrade after reading my last post. Sure, its bad [...]
Await me, Belgrade…

I got selected to the World University Games 2009, the Universiade 2009. This time its Belgrade, Serbia. Apart from the workload I had during the past months, I managed to do some training for the trials. Lucky me!. I’m in the team.
How ever there are several concerns in my mind. The ticket isn’t affordable for [...]

Posted by: Lasitha Silva on: March 3, 2009
I got this from a news site from Jamaica. Its about coach Glen Mills and Bolt, the duo who created history in the Beijing Olympics. This post is actually before the Olympics 2008.
Usain Bolt and his coach Glen Mills have been on a near four-year journey, filled with revelations, growth and triumph. Bolt, a wunderkind [...]
Usain Bolt and doping
Posted by: Lasitha Silva on: March 2, 2009
Even the most pessimistic of sports fans could not help but be inspired by Usain Bolt at Beijing 2008. The rangy Jamaican sprinter powered his way to an electrifying double in both the 100m and 200m events as well as smashing both world records. In setting his time of 9.69 seconds in the [...]

This Usain Bolt guy is a terrible contender in the event. I’ve run the same games with him (junior, but not the same heat) and didn’t even think of such talent within. He was just another athlete.
Now various blogs and news pages talk about human limits and how Bolt out run the earlier math models. [...]
How fast Homo sapiens can go..
Posted by: Lasitha Silva on: November 10, 2008
Amazing as Usain Bolt’s Olympic record-breaking 100-meter victory was, his time of 9.69 seconds is nowhere near what biostatisticians such as Peter Weyand of SMU thinks is the natural limit for the human body. Experts studying the steady progression of records over the past 50 years, see the limit of the world record, with a [...]
