AboutUs

Gymnastics in Sri Lanka has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Before the National Gymnastics Association of Sri Lanka (NGASL) was officially formed, the sport was largely unknown. However, in 1973, a turning point came with the establishment of the School Gymnastics Association and the first All-Island Schools Gymnastics Championship.

Despite challenges such as limited resources and international exposure, Sri Lanka’s gymnasts persevered. Over the years, support from international coaches and competitions fueled their progress. Milestones such as a bronze medal at the Junior Commonwealth Games and Sri Lanka’s first Olympic appearance in gymnastics proved the nation’s potential on the global stage.

Today, as NGASL celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2024, Sri Lankan gymnasts continue to compete at the highest levels, making their mark in prestigious events like the Asian Games and Commonwealth Games. With world-class coaches, certified judges, and a growing talent pool, the future of gymnastics in Sri Lanka looks brighter than ever. NGASL remains committed to nurturing the next generation of athletes and taking the sport to even greater heights.
