The long journey from Totoya Island to Suva proved worthwhile for the proud parents of young sprinter Caucauniwasa Latolatomaivei, who watched their son claim first place in the Sub-Junior Boys’ 400 metres heats at the Coca-Cola Games. Competing at the HFC Bank Stadium, the Sila Central College student delivered an impressive performance, crossing the finish line ahead of other runners to secure his place in the next stage of the competition. For Latolatomaivei, the moment was made even more special by the presence of his family, who travelled all the way from Lau to support him. Speaking to fijivillage News, Latolatomaivei says he is thankful for the support and guidance of his school and teachers. He says he was happy to see his parents at the Games and is looking forward to competing in the finals.

The 400 metres finals will be held at 3pm tomorrow.

Kelena Lutu of Mahatma Gandhi Memorial School was all smiles as she claimed the gold medal with a jump of 11.56 metres in the Senior Girls Triple Jump at the 2026 Coca-Cola Games.

The 18-year-old Lutu dedicated her gold medal to her friend, who is also participating for the MGM team and recently lost her mother.

Lutu, who is originally from Dravuwalu, shares that the gold medal was not an easy one to win, as she had to balance the term-end exam preparations with training.
