Sri Lanka track and field athletes won six more gold medals on Saturday (7), along with two silvers and a bronze, on the final day of the athletics competition at the 13th South Asian Games at Dasarath Stadium in Kathmandu, Nepal.

Sri Lanka's Dilshi Kumarasinghe produced a sensational run to help Sri Lanka win gold in the women's 4x400m event.That took Sri Lanka gold medal haul in track and field to 15, almost half of the 34 medals they won in those events.

It was an extraordinary effort from Sri Lanka athletes, who faced logistical issues upon arriving in Nepal last week.The final day produced some excellent performances, notably in the Men and Women 4x400m relays and in the Women Marathon where Hiruni Wijayaratne became the first Sri Lankan to a gold medal in a marathon at a South Asian Games, completing the 42-km run in 2 hours, 42 minutes and 24 seconds, nine minutes ahead of Pushpa Bhandari of Nepal.
