In line with Allianz’s role as the official insurance partner for the Olympics and Paralympics, Allianz Insurance Lanka Limited has provided medical insurance to Sri Lanka’s past and present National Olympians. This initiative, in its 4th year running, is part of Allianz’s broader global commitment to supporting athletes; one that begins from the moment athletes step onto the Olympic stage and extends well beyond their active athletic careers. By providing comprehensive medical insurance coverage, Allianz Insurance Lanka reinforces its dedication to the wellbeing of Sri Lankan athletes, acknowledging their contributions to national pride and the global sporting community. The initiative was highlighted at a special event held on the 31st of August 2024 at the Sports Ministry’s National Olympians Auditorium.
As the worldwide insurance partner for the Olympics and Paralympics from 2021 to 2028, Allianz continues to protect Olympians and keep them safe to win the world by ensuring the health and safety of athletes, both on and off the field. This medical insurance coverage is a tangible manifestation of that commitment, reflecting Allianz’s role as a reliable ally to Sri Lankan Olympians. Allianz’s involvement with the Olympics reflects its vision of creating a legacy of support that resonates with athletes globally.
The President of the Sri Lankan Olympians Association, Sriyani Kulawansa Oly. commented saying, “I would like to express our deepest gratitude to Allianz Insurance Lanka for their unwavering support of our national athletes. By providing comprehensive group medical insurance coverage, Allianz has demonstrated a profound commitment to safeguarding the health and wellbeing of our sportsmen and sportswomen. This partnership ensures that our athletes can focus on achieving their dreams without the worry of medical emergencies. Allianz’s continued support reflects the values of resilience, dedication, and excellence that our Olympians embody. We look forward to many more years of fruitful collaboration in uplifting the spirit of sports in Sri Lanka”.
For Sri Lankan Olympians, this added protection cements the enduring relationship between Allianz and the athletic community, prioritising the health and security of the nation’s sporting heroes. The initiative is particularly significant as it addresses the often-overlooked post-competition phase of an athlete’s life, ensuring they receive the medical attention they need long after their Olympic careers have concluded.
This initiative not only celebrates the past achievements of Sri Lanka’s Olympians but also paves the way for future generations to pursue their dreams with the assurance that their health will be protected by the world’s leading insurance brand.
