The cost of winning gold in the Pacific Games is already being felt by the Fiji Athletics Federation with less than a month to the official opening.

President, Albert Miller said they still have to meet their levy requirement in sending a team of 29 athletes to the Games.

Miller added that one of their biggest expenses is paying $6,000 for three of their USA based athletes to be part of the team but they have faith that with this obstacle they will deliver the much needed results.
