Timeline

1974

In 1974, Karunananda had been offered a job in Japan in appreciation of his deed. A few days before leaving Sri Lanka, however, Karunananda mysteriously died, drowning in the Namal Oya tank. Some theories say that he just disappeared. Karunananda’s wife suffered a mental breakdown following her husband’s death and the family was forced onto the streets. Later, one of the relatives offered to fund and take care of his family. The Sri Lankan government did not acknowledge his legacy or look after his family.

1964

Karunananda represented Ceylon (as Sri Lanka was named at the time) in the 1964 Summer Olympics Men’s 5000 meters and Men’s 10,000 meters competitions. In the 10,000 meter race, Karunananda was soon overtaken by the leading athletes and was lapped four times when the winner, Billy Mills of the United States, broke the tape to finish the race. Karunananda continued to run after the others had finished the race. Spectators first started to jeer at him. But when he came around a second time, there was silence. Finally he finished the race amid cheers and applause.
