The team heads into the competition with confidence and determination, fully prepared to bring home medals for Fiji.
Competing in Nauru is a significant challenge, as it is a stronghold of world champions in powerlifting.
Fiji Powerlifting President, Viliame Lagonilakeba, says they’ve had an intense national competition in September and have since completed a six-week program designed by Ryan Bale of Fiji Strength Systems.
The national team is competing in Nauru thanks to the backing of the government and Fiji Sports Commission.
