Grammar remains quiet
This is how leading athletics experts looks at defending boys division champion, Suva Grammar opting to remain tightlipped on their approach to the 2011 Coca Cola Games.
The Lions camp like in the past years, have not made any predication on their chances this year after losing to Marist in the Zone meet.
Athletics Fiji President, Albert Miller says that to beat Grammar schools like Marist, RKS and others will have to deny them winning the gold medal in the sprint events.
Miller believes that Grammar coach Jone Delai can produce the results again with his current junior and inter boys’ team.
In the girls division the battle is likely to be between current champion ACS and Suva Grammar.
ACS have a strong inter team while Grammar strength is in the senior grades where the likes of Paulini Korowaqa, Nohela Taqai, Makitalena Lokolokobuka and Suliano Gusuivalu will be up against Ana Kaloucava, Akesa Drotini and Seleima Balevesi.
Miller added that the two biggest changes which are the no false start rule and the 100 meter finals being held as the last event of day one will boost the performance of individual athletes.
The 2011 Coca Cola Games gets underway at 8.30am tomorrow at the TFL Stadium.
