Fiji top javelin thrower, Leslie Copeland's dream of competing at this year's Olympics has been dashed.

Copeland competed in his last qualifying event over the weekend at the Gold Coast in Australia, but failed to make the qualifying standard in the Javelin event.

He needed to throw 75m or close, but did his personal best with a throw of 66.53m.

Team Fiji will now have only Makelesi Bulikiobo and Niko Verekauta competing in the Athletics at the Olympics which starts on 8th of August.
