This is the seventh year of publication W following the launch of the OCA newsletter in 2009, and I would like to thank all the NOCs, organising committees and other stakeholders for their valuable contributions over the years. As you know, we have a blank year ahead of us in terms of multi-sport games, as the next event will be the 5th Asian Beach Games in Vietnam in 2016. This gives us all the chance to take stock, to look back on our achievements and operations in 2014 and to build on this solid platform for a brighter future. Although there are no OCA games in the coming year, there is still much to do from an administrative point of view regarding the preparation of our athletes and delegations for the Rio Olympic Games in 2016. Olympic Solidarity has a wide range of scholarships and funds available for athletes and administrators alike, and we urge all NOCs to make the most of what is available to hold courses and seminars and to continue developing the Olympic Movement throughout the continent. Thank you all for your loyal and enthusiastic support in a hectic 2014, and I would like to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!

Category of Sports All within the Olympic domain Age group 15-16 years and will go up to 19-20 years under special circumstances by 2021 General Overview Primarily the selection process is rather futuristic and hypothetic. The reason, no one can predict that an athlete who is promising at the age of 15 could sustain the same intensity at 22-23 especially under local day-do-day life. Unlike in developed nations Sri Lanka lacks a proper system of youth development as result wilting talent is very common especially among the poorer segments of the society. The young athlete may have the “Fire in his/her belly” but the sustenance of the intensity is very challenging. Then in the middle-income group once again the challenge is different, but very community bound. The middle-income group athletes in the ages of 15-16 are about to sit for their Ordinary Level Examinations so they are in a severe dilemma choosing between studies and the sports. In this aspect the parents play a huge role in the young athletes’ future as a sportsperson. Another aspect that should not be overlooked is the role that the coach plays in the career of the athlete.
