The Fiji Power Lifting team continue their fine form to win two more medals at the Oceania/Asia Powerlifting Championships which is underway in Melbourne.
Ana Garnett won two bronze medals in the Junior 84kg+ category while Melania Waqasokonibogi won two silver medals in the second Junior 84kg+ category.
Meanwhile, the Fiji Power Lifting President Iliesa Irava has set the bar for Team Fiji’s female athletes after winning gold in the 105kg division.
Irava who is known by the name “Bull”, is a living testament of the sport.
His journey, which began from simple beginnings, with a combination of hard work, determination and commitment, has ended in the high echelons of powerlifting in Fiji, even becoming one of the best powerlifters in the country.
He grew up in Rotuma and hails from Losa Village while his mum is from Motusa.
Irava is hoping to see more medals from our female lifters who will be competing today.
Competition continues today with the female lifters.
