## Athletics

On April 26, 2022, the Athletics Association of Sri Lanka named a team of eight athletes (four of each gender). On June 1, 2022, Hiruni Wijayaratne was dropped from the team for unknown reasons. Ushan Thiwanka later withdrew, citing a lack of preparation. Para-athlete Palitha Bandara will also compete.
On 3 August 2022, Yupun Abeykoon won the bronze medal after finishing the race in 10.14 seconds. Abeykoon also became the first Sri Lankan to win a Commonwealth Games medal in athletics after 24 years since Sriyani Kulawansa and Sugath Thilakaratne's medal feats at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. Abeykoon also became the first Sri Lankan to win a Commonwealth Games medal in either men's and women's 100m event. During the heats, Abeykoon managed to set an all-time fastest ever timing in Commonwealth Games history in the heats after finishing with a timing of 10.06 seconds. The previous record in 100m men's heats record was held by Canada's Glenroy Gilbert who had finished his heat with a timing of 10.10 seconds during the 1994 Commonwealth Games. His timing of 10.06 seconds earned him a spot in the semi-finals. Yupun finished with a timing of 10.20 seconds semi-final which helped him to secure a berth into the final and was also the only Asian athlete to qualify for the final.
Palitha Bandara claimed a silver medal in men's F42-44/61-64 discus throw final after clearing a distance of 44.20 meters garnering 944 points. Bandara became the first Sri Lankan to win a Para Sports medal for Sri Lanka in Commonwealth Games history.

## Concerns and controversies

The participation of Sri Lanka at the games came at a critical juncture, especially with Sri Lanka facing its worst financial and economic crisis since independence. The athletes who are competing had endured severe difficulties to move on with their usual lifestyles and faced constraints with regard to training due to fuel shortages.
There were concerns raised by citizens and critics over Sri Lanka sending huge number of athletes for the 2022 Commonwealth Games at a time when Sri Lanka is in dire situation and foreign exchange crisis. Sri Lanka Cricket stepped in voluntarily during the need of the hour by financing the accommodation and travelling costs and expenses of participants and officials worth LKR 20 million.
As of 4 August 2022, at least 3 members of the Sri Lankan contingent are reportedly missing from the villages including a female judoka and a male wrestler. Sri Lankan administrators had asked its athletes and officials to hand over their passports ever since the news broke out regarding missing competitors.
