We have achieved a lot in those four years, not only with the contribution of all 45 NOCs to the success of the 17th Asian Games in Incheon, Korea, last year but also to the development of the sports movement throughout the continent. Our five multi-sport games continue to go from strength to strength, setting new benchmarks in sports innovation and presentation around the world, and we can look forward to building on this momentum in the next Olympic cycle through to 2019. Our 34th OCA General Assembly brings us to Ashgabat, capital of Turkmenistan, and gives the local NOC a taste of what to expect when they host the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games in September 2017. Central Asia is booming in the Olympic sports movement, and the OCA Executive Board and General Assembly in Ashgabat on September 15-16 will give all the delegates the opportunity to witness at first-hand the impressive Olympic complex that is being built for the 5th AIMAG and beyond. As the next Elective General Assembly approaches, I would like to thank all the OCA committees for their hard work and their ideas and initiatives during the past four years. Your contribution has kept the OCA moving forwards, always looking to create the best environment for the athletes and the best conditions for our administrators and officials. The next four years will present new challenges, and I am confident that, with our experience and expertise, our unity and solidarity, we will be able to meet them.

  • Selection Criteria
    “Crysbro-NOC SL Next Champ” - Selection Criteria Target Group Athletes of potential for future success with an eye for 2022 and beyond, with an ultimate eye for a future Olympic medal. 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. When an athlete spurts-out to fame – making a major accomplishment i.e., Parami Wasanthi winning the Youth Olympic Bronze medal. The impact that was made in the aftermath was irritable for the athlete.
