Olympic Cheer Campaign For Team Sri Lanka @ Tokyo 2020
The Sammu City was identified as the Host City for Team Sri Lanka participating in Tokyo 2020. But with the advent of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Games Organisers scaled down the activities to merely conducting the schedule of events.
Before that, the Lord Mayor of Sammu City headed a delegation that visited the National Olympic Committee of Sri Lanka to plan out the activities related to this awareness campaign.
Citizen – both Japanese & Foreign together with Officers & Staff of Sammu City Office & School Children were involved in this generous support activity. A relatively large Athlete contingent from Sri Lanka may have been energised & confident, had the normal circumstances prevailed during the Games.
The City Council Hall was made available to all who responded to write messages of encouragement & congratulations to the 09 athletes who represented the country at the XXX11 Summer Olympic Games, Tokyo, Japan. It was postponed from 2020 to 2021.
