He became famous as ‘the most spirited loser’ in the world of athletics for what he accomplished at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. ==1964 Olympics== Karunananda represented Sri Lanka in 1964 Olympics men’s 5000 meters and 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. But Karunananda continued to run alone even 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.
