It was a joyful moment for Akilio Seru after seeing his son, Evueli Toia win the first gold medal for St Vincent College in Natovi, in the Senior Boys 1,500 metres final at the Cola-Cola Games this morning.
He says Evueli is an obedient son who has been following his training programs daily and he is happy to see him win gold.
Seru says despite not getting a medal in the 2019 Coca-Cola Games, his son was determined to return this year with a bang.
He adds his son runs 9 to 10km every afternoon and also does morning training in preparation for this competition.
Evueli Toia says even though the QVS and other runners passed him during their 1,500 metres race this morning, he was determined to beat them all when they reached the 100 metres line.
Iowane Viani of Namosi Secondary School won silver, while Lomaivuna High School student, Sailasa Moala won bronze.
