CIC Holdings partners Rumesh Tharanga on his journey towards Olympic glory in 2028

CIC Holdings PLC has partnered with Sri Lankan javelin thrower Rumesh Tharanga Pathirage as his official nutritional and wellness partner. The company says the arrangement will support his preparation for the 2028 Olympic Games, including nutrition, fitness and general wellbeing. Tharanga has said his goal is to win Sri Lanka’s first Olympic gold medal.

The reports place the partnership against a sequence of international results in 2026. In Rome, Tharanga threw 92.62 metres, setting a Sri Lankan national record. ThePapare says the throw also set a competition record. He later won the Commonwealth Games title, with ThePapare specifying that the event was held in Scotland.

ThePapare reports that Tharanga became the first Sri Lankan to win the Diamond League title, at a meeting in Brussels. It also says he won the inaugural World Athletics Ultimate Championship in Hungary. The Island Sports reports that his winning throw there was 91.09 metres and that he was ranked the world’s No. 1 men’s javelin thrower.

The Island Sports says Tharanga most recently won Sri Lanka’s only gold medal at the 2026 Asian Games in the men’s javelin. ThePapare also reports his Asian Games victory and says he was nominated for the World Athletics Athlete of the Year award; it does not provide further details about the nomination in the supplied report.

CIC describes the deal as a long-term commitment rather than conventional sports sponsorship. The company says it has operated in areas including agriculture, healthcare and wellness, and personal care for more than six decades. The reports do not give further details on the partnership’s duration or specific support arrangements.
