Weightlfting Congratulations

Today the Women’s +74kg Weightlifting competition took place at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre attracting many spectators to see the world’s female lifters contesting for the hopeful medal prospects. Our very own Sioe Haioti who is trained by Paul Coffa in Samoa at the Weighlifting Institute almost had the bronze medal on the plate but ineffectively could not achieve to lift the 131kg that she could easily lift during her trainings. Kiwi contender Keisha-Dean Soffe took out the bronze medal while Sioe ranked 5th. Sioe lifted remarkably well and she won the hearts of all the audience’s positive support to do her best. 16 year old potential athlete (self-trained in Niue and assisted by Coach Speedo Hetutu), Narita Viliamu astoundingly lifted a personal best in the Snatch. As for the Clean & Jerk, although she blacked out during her last lift she still proved to us all, her determination to succeed in this amazing sport is just a beginning ranking her overall 8th out of the 11 competitors. At such a young age, Narita can only improve and develop with the top guidance of a good weighlifting coach for her to compete in future events. Well done to both girls and congratulations on both your courageous efforts.

QUEEN’S BATON RELAY ON THE ROCK OF POLYNESIA

The inaugural Queen’s Baton was made for a relay to celebrate the Cardiff 1958 Commonwealth Games in Wales. In the ensuing, period the Queen’s Baton Relay has developed into an endless obligated games heritage. The Melbourne 2006 Queen’s Baton Relay is the world’s longest, most encompassing relay the baton will travel to all 71 nations of the Commonwealth.

Over the past few weeks leading up to the Commonwealth Queen’s baton arrival to its 62nd destination Niue Island, the NISANOC organizing committee had held regular meetings toward preparations of the most historical event ever to take place on the Rock of Polynesia. The vision of this National body was to travel the baton to each corner of the island allowing every able residing and visiting Niuean to take part in.

Its first journey was to the origin of where sports evolved in Niue by the kings of the land. This place – “Falepipi Fatuaua Historical Site” is located in Tuapa. This site was a meeting place where decisions were put into place regarding the types of sports to be played for example the traditional sports of tika throwing, canoe racing and many others. The purpose of the Queen’s baton was to carry Her Majesty’s message to the athletes from Buckingham Palace in London to this historical site the highest of high places of sovereignty before reaching the opening ceremony.

The baton travelled from the ancient meeting place Falepipi Fatuaua to the House of Government – the “Fale Fono”. The government played a significant role in including Niue as one of the 71 countries of the Commonwealth that the baton travelled to. The Queen’s baton relay team including the NISANOC executives paid a courtesy visit to the Premier and its Cabinet Ministers and its conclusion of its visit ended with the Speaker of the House based at the Assembly Chambers.

The baton symbolises unity of all the diverse Commonwealth nations and how appropriate to take it to the sports people of our future – the children of the Niue Primary School. Their colourful celebrations included cultural and singing performances displayed by all syndicate levels. The children demonstrated their developed skills of specific sports to the Commonwealth organized by Tama Mana. The children’s energy and excitement was contagious. This excitement continued throughout the duration of the Queen’s baton visit.

To commemorate the year of the “Taoga Niue”, there was a celebration of Cultural dancing and singing that took place at the Multi-purpose hall. The Commonwealth Games not only represents Sports but also the Culture and Identity of participating nations. Taoga Niue is an advocate of the Niuean Culture and Identity. The presence of the baton acknowledges the existence of the Taoga Niue towards the preservations of our cultural identity.

To honor the celebrations of the people of Niue, Government declared a public holiday. This was the opportunity for all to be involved in the round the Island relay. The Queen’s baton commenced at the Fale Fono making its journey throughout each of the villages. The community efforts brought togetherness and united enthusiasm from the youngest to the oldest. The closing ceremony at the Commercial Centre included speeches and multicultural entertainment.

One of the final destinations of the baton was to USP and Niue High School. To give recognition to the developing athletes of Niue, the relay commenced with Narita Viliamu, a representative in Weightlifting for the Melbourne 2006 Commonwealth Games – before the baton was passed around the one and only 400m official track by all staff and students of NHS. A cultural sports display and fashion show concluded the celebrations for the up and coming athletes of Niue.

This epic journey of the Queen’s baton will always be memorable and symbolises the unity of the people of Niue.

Special Acknowledgements to NISANOC for the organization of this spectacular event.
