Dinkey Bandara, RIOU graduate from Sri Lanka, MSA 2023/24. She is the one who is already making a real impact on the global sport stage. This summer, Dinkey will be involved in the Commonwealth Games — one of the world’s largest international multi-sport events, bringing together athletes from across the Commonwealth. These Games are not just about medals; they are about unity, development, values, and using sport as a force for positive change. Dinkey serves as the eqUIP Officer for Asia & Oceania in the Development Department at Commonwealth Sport, playing a key role in athlete development, education programs, international coordination, and support for National Olympic and Paralympic Committees across the region. It’s a position that requires leadership, cultural awareness, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how sport systems work at the highest level. Our alumni’s joint work at major international sporting events — like the Commonwealth Games — is truly inspiring. Long
