Thulith Thewmika Palliyaguru

Bachelor of science

Badminton has been a significant part of my life for over ten years, shaping me into the athlete I am today. Representing Sri Lanka on the international stage has been an incredible journey, from competing in the Under-15 and Under-19 World Championships to winning a silver medal at the South Asian Games. Each tournament has taught me invaluable lessons about perseverance, discipline, and the drive to constantly improve.
As a national player, I continue to challenge myself, striving for excellence in every competition. Since joining SLIIT, I have had the privilege of contributing to the university’s badminton team, sharing my experience, and competing in various tournaments.
