Ducia clocked a time of 21.69 seconds in the 200m finals and wished his father, who passed away in 2018, was here to see him win.
He also thanked his coach, Banuve Tabakaucoro, known by many as the King of the Pacific, for his guidance.
He also dedicated his gold medal to his mother, who he says is his biggest supporter.
“I want to dedicate this medal to my father, who passed away in 2018, I wish he was here to see me win. I also want to thank my mother for always being there for me, This win is for the two of them.”
