Thrilled to have fulfilled her dream of competing in
the Olympics, Sri Lankan swimming sensation Mayumi Raheem
graces the covers of this issue of Sri Lankas
Definitive Guide To LIVING. Just 17, this teen
star is the holder of many national records, while also
creating a new record for medals won at a single event.
Just 16 when she took part in the Games, Mayumi faced
formidable competition from top names in the field.
Taking part in the Olympics is the greatest honour
for any athlete and a dream come true for me. I swam
at the biggest stadium I had ever been in, with the
fastest swimmers in the world. I trained really hard,
but I think I was a tad nervous and messed things up
a bit, she reflects. She did, however, succeed
in establishing a new national record.
Also featured in this edition is the dance doyenne Upeka
Silva, the oft-controversial Indu Dharmasena spins a
new tale, while insights into Rohan Fernando are featured
in Living Partners. A special edition of Living Showcase
also features everything from pottery and porcelain
to food and clothing.
Reviewed in this edition is the elegantly English-style
cottage Jetwing Warwick Gardens, as are the culinary
delights at Sakura, while the Bistro Latino gets a nod
from our roving critic. Also featured are the new Nissan
Bluebird and a collection of alfresco living spaces.
