Yupun Abeykon set a South Asian record- 100m in 9.95 seconds

Sri Lankan sprint champion Yupun Abeykon set a South Asian record by completing the 100m in 9.95 seconds at a tournament in Switzerland.

 It is the best time recorded by a South Asian player in the event. After the match, releasing a video on social media, he said that no one in Sri Lanka helped him with this.

The note published at the same time is as follows

The wait is over!!!!!! 9.96 sec 🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️❤️ I did it. I worked hard for many years, and I got the results of that hard work. Yes… I am the new member of the Sub 10 club! The first Sub 10 in South Asia where there are billions. I am the owner of the 10th sub-10 in Asian history. I am giving this tribute to those who were with me. I think I paid back to those who believed in me. love a lot The sent box of the e-mail sent asking for help from the Sri Lankan authorities is full. I can’t even find a single e-mail saying that I will help. 😂
That’s why when talking to the media now, please remind me what kind of help you have given me. People are waiting to find out. 😉 Again, I did it. I love everyone who was with me. I did this for those of you who believed in me more than myself. ❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thank you, my team! We did it ❤️
