Let the games begin!
AFTER two years, we are finally here again! We are smack bang at the start of what is expected to be three exciting days of athletics action at the National Stadium in Suva.
The hype is building up. The magical atmosphere that surrounds the event is inching its way back very slowly.
But it is there!
The fans are headed here, into the Capital City for the 60th event.
The cheer squads are ready. And the army of student athletes are raring to go. They are more than 3000 strong this year, and come from 260 schools around the country. They want a piece of the action. They want to be here. It’s almost as if they want to be set loose at the Laucala bowl.
This is it! This is what young athletes dream about. It’s what they yearn to be a part of.
They are ready for their dance with the big boys and girls. This is when the cream of our young athletes will display their potential, and show us what they are made of.
The old scholars are loading social media, showing their support and allegiance.
This is an event that continues to attract the imagination of thousands of Fijians.
Only the best of our high school athletes will converge on the National Stadium to test themselves.
For three days, this is where thousands of people around the country will focus their attention.
That’s how big this event is. It is as exciting as it is a much anticipated affair.
Athletes will be arriving in Suva in the best shape of their lives. They arrive with hours of preparation behind them, and toned muscles itching to get into action. Each will be raring to prove a point for their school, their family and fans, their old scholars and most importantly, for themselves.
