It is a big day for Team Fiji in the Commonwealth Games today with gold medal prospect Eileen Cikamatana set to take part in the Women’s 90kg weight category in the Weightlifting competition in Gold Coast.
Cikamatana holds the Commonwealth record in the Women’s 90kg category which is a total of 253kg.
The Commonwealth records set by Cikamatana are 111kg in the Snatch category while the record in the Clean and Jerk is 143kg.
Cikamatana does not have to look far for inspiration as Apolonia Vaivai got a bronze medal in the Women's 69kg category at the weightlifting competition yesterday.
Cikamatana is ranked number one in the competition.
The start list says 19‑year‑old Cikamatana will make an entry total of 250kg.
Cikamatana will compete at 4pm today.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Pearls will also play their third match against Australia at 5.02pm today.
The Pearls lost to Jamaica 88‑30 in their opening match and suffered a 66‑44 defeat to Barbados on Saturday.
