The seventh round of trials for Super Fighter, Sri Lanka’s first reality sports TV programme, was held in Panadura on Sunday.

During the trials, ports equipment was also donated to the Bulathsinhala National School.

Super Fighter is a joint initiative of MAS Holdings,  Newsfirst and the MTV/MBC media network.

Speaking at the event, Dian Gomes, group director of MAS Holdings, said:

“I believe this is a happy and important moment in my life. We are hoping for a gold medal at the 2020 Olympics. I believe that one of the athletes here or maybe one of the athletes from another part of Sri Lanka will be able to bring this to Sri Lanka.”
