Sri Lankan para swimmer Galina Basnayake won a bronze medal in the Women’s 3km S7-S10 category at the 2nd World Para Swimming Open Water Cup in Sardinia, Italy, yesterday.

Galina Basnayake clocked a time of 42:50.40 to secure the bronze medal in the Women’s 3km S7-S10 category. This impressive performance earned her seven points.

Last year, Basnayake made headlines by winning a silver medal at the Asian Para Games in China.

That marked Sri Lanka’s first medal in the Asian Para Games after a 13-year wait. In the women’s 400m freestyle S9 category, she finished with a time of 5 minutes and 18.28 seconds, bringing home Sri Lanka’s first swimming medal since 2010.
