An incredible lift by young John Tafi in the 73kg weight category secured Samoa’s first gold at the Commonwealth Weightlifting Championships 2024 in Suva Fiji on Wednesday evening.
John has also set a new Commonwealth and Oceania Record. His spot in the 2026 Commonwealth has also been cemented.
A post made by the official Samoa Weightlifting Federation page states: “Glory goes back to God for today. Special acknowledgement to NBS- National Bank of Samoa, Pacific Aus Sports, Government of Samoa and Samoa Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee. Faafetai Samoa mo lou tapuaiga.”
