Sept 16 (Reuters) - Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage is Sri Lanka's best hope for gold at the Asian Games but his preparations have been thrown out of whack after his javelins were broken on a flight back from the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship.
The 23-year-old won gold in Budapest with a best throw of 91.09m but his triumphant homecoming turned sour when he landed in Katunayake.

9 月 16 日（路透社）——鲁梅什·塔兰加·帕蒂拉格是斯里兰卡在亚运会上夺金的最大希望，但他的备战计划被打乱了，因为他在从首届世界田径终极锦标赛返回的航班上标枪被损坏了。
这位 23 岁的选手在布达佩斯以 91.09 米的最佳成绩赢得金牌，但当他抵达卡图纳亚克时，他的凯旋归来却变得苦涩起来。
