Della Shaw Elder dedicates commemorative medal to her late parents

Weightlifting Fiji President Della Shaw Elder has dedicated her commemorative medal for Fiji’s 50th Anniversary of Independence to her late parents who have always supported her in her sporting career.

Shaw who was part of the 30 people who received the commemorative medal says from her parent's support she was able to reach the place she is in today.

She says her sporting career started in 1990 as an athlete and it has continued till today.

Shaw says when she got the call that she would be one of the recipients for the commemorative medal, she did not expect it but she was overwhelmed that she is being recognised for her contribution to the development of weightlifting in the country.
