Asian Para Games appearances (overview)

Sri Lanka took part in the 2018 Asian Para Games which was held in Jakarta from 6 to 13 October 2018, sent a delegation consisting of 30 para athletes in 9 different sporting events.[2] The 2016 Rio Paralympic medalist Dinesh Priyantha Herath was the skipper and the flagbearer for the contingent. Sri Lanka secured 5 medals on the opening day of the Asian Para Games.[3]

Sri Lanka claimed 13 medals solely in the event of para athletics during the competition including 4 gold medals and finished at 14th position out of 43 nations.[4] Sri Lanka also secured all three medals across two tracks and field events during the competition, which was the first ever instance in Sri Lankan sports history.[5]

Sri Lankan skipper Dinesh Priyantha set a new Asian Para Games record in javelin throw of 61.84m to secure gold medal in the men's F46 javelin throw event.[6] Amila Prashan also set a new Asian Para Games record by clocking with timing of 12.56 seconds to clinch gold in the men's 100m T42/63 category.[7] In July 2019, it is announced that Sri Lanka had a silver upgraded to gold and an extra bronze medal from medal reallocation due to doping violation of an Uzbek athlete.[8]
