18-year-old Ro Banuve overcomes challenges to represent Fiji at Handball Youth World Championship
Balancing Form 7 studies with late-night training has not been easy for 18-year-old Team Fiji handball player Ro Banuve Tabitha Logavatu, but the youngster from Lomanikoro, Rewa says she is excited to represent Fiji at the IHF Women's Youth World Championship in Romania after overcoming the challenges.

While speaking to fijivillage Sports, Logavatu says she is looking forward to competing against some of the world's best young players and is also excited about the opportunity to travel overseas for the tournament.

She says preparing for the championship has been demanding as she had to juggle her schoolwork with training.

Despite the obstacles, Logavatu says she has received strong support from her parents and siblings, which has helped keep her motivated.

She is encouraging young people to make the most of their time and not let opportunities pass them by.

Logavatu says if they stay focused, work hard and keep looking ahead, they can achieve their goals.


Fiji will begin its campaign against France tomorrow at 11pm, before facing Croatia on Thursday.

The team will then complete its group-stage matches against Egypt on Saturday.
