Massive effort displayed by our champion Weightlifter Morea Baru!
It was all smiles for Morea when he cleared all three lifts in the clean and jerk with 161kg.
This placed Morea in 5th place overall; an improvement from his last Olympics performance in Tokyo.
”Although I did not do well in the snatch, I knew I had to do a big clean & jerk to give me a good total; I was happy that I did all the three lifts in the clean & jerk.”
“After competing and looking at my placing, I knew this was the fruit of all my hard work and sacrifice’.”
”Overall, it was a huge achievement for Morea and for the country.”
“Even though the results were not expected in the snatch, we had to make sure he pulled off the three attempts in the clean & jerk to put him in a good position’, said Willie Tamasi the Coach.
“Morea definitely went down without a fight, and we are proud of the effort he put in to stay in the top 5 with an amazing result thus far!”
Well done, Morea! You represented us well!
