Ratu Josefa Tabakaucoro, the younger brother of Banuve Tabakaucoro, is following the footsteps of his older brother after he ran the fastest time in the Under 10 75 meter race in the FMF Chow Games earlier today.
Suva Blues team manager Lasarusa Senibale said they did not want to put added pressure on Tabakaucoro, however they are confident that the young athlete from Stella Marist will do well in the finals later this afternoon.
Senibale added it is very rare for Suva to win gold in the long distance races, and the gold medal won by Farisiko Mualivu in the Under 14 1500 meter is a bonus.
Looking at the medal tally, in the girl’s division, Bua/Macuata leads with 1 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze, second is Cakaudrove with 1 gold and tied at third place is Nadi and Ra with a bronze medal each.
In the boy’s division, Lautoka lead with 1 gold and 1 silver, second is Suva and Bua/Macuata with 1 gold each and tied in third place is Nadroga and Nadi with a silver medal each.
The primary schools athletics competition continues at the TFL Stadium.
