I could not contain my emotions when we won today because its been 33 years we have been trying to win the Coca-Cola Games and I'm really proud of the boys.
This was shared by the Principal of QVS Waliki Nasau to fijivillage New after their historic win this evening.
He says he had lost hope after seeing Marist catching up, but the students proved him wrong today.
The Principal says he was proud with the performance of his students in the last three days and restoring that pride and win again in Vulinitu has been a blessing.
He thanked the all students who part today.
Through blood, sweat, tears and tragedy, the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial School has retained their Coca-Cola Games Girls' division title for which head coach Waliki Tiko Satakala has acknowledged the parents, Gujarat Education Society and the Marist Club.
MGM High won 15 gold, 8 silver and 5 bronze, Adi Cakobau School came in second place with 7 gold, 4 silver and 9 bronze, while Natabua High School is third with 5 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze.
Satakala says it sank in yesterday that they had gone ahead and built a comprehensive lead, and today was just formalities.
While crediting the athletes, the coach says the personal drive has to be greater than the coaches’.
He has also highlighted that it was an emotional period for athlete Tamara Ralagi, who lost her mother on Saturday, and won silver in the Junior Girls High Jump and bronze in the Long Lump event of her grade.
Satakala says he had to break the news to Ralagi with his daughter on Sunday, and when they later went to the LDS Church on Grantham Road, the message that day was about supporting and consoling someone who has lost a loved one.
He says Ralagi initially appeared cheerful, but when he took her away from everyone else and shared the news with her, the reality of losing her mother began to sink in.
Satakala says he spent quite some time consoling her after she realised her mum would no longer be around.
He says with her father and and the entire family’s backing, it was decided that she would continue with the competition.
The further coach says one of the main challenges is managing athletes who have multiple coaches, sometimes two or three, which can create differences in training methods and require constant realignment as a team.
He says another challenge is the varied family backgrounds of students, with different levels of financial and resource support affecting athletes’ overall wellbeing.
To address this, the team maintains regular communication with parents to help them understand the demands of training, including fitness and dietary requirements.
He adds that while families invest significantly in their children, this often comes with high expectations.
Satakala has also highlighted that it’s not just about results at MGM, it’s about the enjoyment the athletes experience and at the same time, there is support from the school and also the wider school community, which is the Gujarat Education Society.
He says Education Society is doing a great job in trying to set a trend for other schools that look after student athletes and help set them up for life.

Prime Minister Sitiveni Rabuka has hailed the inclusion of athletes with disabilities as a historic milestone during the closing ceremony of the Coca-Cola Games 2026.
Speaking at the event, Rabuka emphasised the significance of the first-ever participation of the Fiji Vocational Technical Training Centre for Persons with Disability, describing it as a powerful step towards greater inclusion, equity and opportunity for all Fijians.
Rabuka says the milestone reflects a growing commitment to ensuring that sport is accessible to everyone, regardless of ability and reinforces the role of national events in promoting unity and equal opportunity.
He also highlights the long-standing importance of the Coca-Cola Games in Fiji’s sporting landscape, noting that many of the country’s national and international athletes have emerged through the competition.
He says the Games continue to play a critical role in identifying talent early while fostering confidence, discipline and ambition among young athletes.
The Prime Minister pointed to the scale and national reach of this year’s event, which brought together 2,484 student-athletes from 157 schools across the country, including participants travelling from remote areas such as Rotuma and Lau.
He commended the determination and resilience shown by students who travelled long distances to compete, saying their efforts challenged expectations and signalled even stronger performances in the future.
Meanwhile, a total of 152 events were staged during the Games, supported by more than 400 officials, volunteers, technical staff, medical personnel and security officers.
