TEAM FIJI FINALISE SQUAD
Shop N Save Athletics Fiji (AF) have finalized the number of athletes for the Oceania Athletics Championships which will be held in Suva next week.
Team Fiji squad has been reduced from the first list published in May after the Coke Games due to the:
Failure to attend one of the last three Athletic Fiji organized competitions (Viti Levu athletes);
Where we have no knowledge of any training done by athlete;
Where athletes have honestly indicated they are not physically prepared;
Where athletes have since taken up other sports (exclusively);
Where their age disqualifies athletes to compete in the U18 and U20 grades.
AF administration manager Selwyn Williams thanked all the athletes who have remained committed to training.
“A good example of commitment is seen with an athlete who travels over an hour from the interior of Naitasiri to attend training at the ANZ Stadium in Suva on week days, at his own expense,”Williams said.
“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the families, schools, businesses and individuals for their support so far.
“I’m asking for people of Fiji to come and support the teams during the Oceania championships.
“It’s taken 17 years for Oceania Athletics Area Championships to come back to Fiji. We can’t afford to miss it.”
