Celebrating Excellence: Tarushi Karunaratne’s remarkable journey to gold at the 2023 Asian Games, and a special gift from EWIS!

Recognizing the exceptional talent of Tarushi Karunaratne, who achieved an astounding feat by clinching the gold medal in the women’s 800m event at the 2023 Asian Games held in China, EWIS recently took the initiative to present her with a state-of-the-art computer. Her historic achievement marked the first athletics gold for our nation since 2002

Representing Sri Lanka with unparalleled dedication, the 19-year-old clocked a remarkable time of 2:03.20 minutes.

Tarushi’s track record is nothing short of extraordinary. Earlier at the 2023 Asian Athletics Championship in Bangkok, Thailand, she set an Asian record and a national record with an incredible time of 2:00:06 minutes. Her passion and prowess for the 400m and 800m events were evident even at the All-Island School Games in 2019, where she clinched gold and set records for both disciplines. Moreover, Tarushi’s achievements extend to the Sir John Tarbot Senior Championships in 2019, where she dominated the 800m event and secured gold medals in both the 400m and 800m events.

EWIS has always been a company dedicated to uplifting the younger generation, empowering them to excel in various aspects of life. Whether it’s through sponsorship of sports events, scholarships, or educational programs, EWIS remains a firm advocate for the growth and development of young individuals. As part of our broader commitment to fostering a brighter future, we’re not only celebrating Tarushi’s historic achievement but also reinforcing our pledge to support and mentor the youth as they strive to reach new heights in sports and education.

Tarushi was recognized as the best female athlete under 16 at the provincial meet in 2019, showcasing her potential from a young age.

In acknowledgment of her remarkable achievements, EWIS proudly presented Tarushi with a state-of-the-art computer as a token of our admiration and support for her continued journey to represent Sri Lanka and bring further glory to her motherland. 🇱🇰🏆
