I don't really think that's strange What are their speeds? At least I assume they have been tested/raced?

Grassmarket 3,233 Posted July 15, 2022 #104 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Zohri is the former World Junior Champ. Or in fact may be the reigning WJC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume rugby is more important in Fiji? All the fastest guys go into rugby, no need to waste their talents for something called athletics?

They feed their families by playing rugby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least I assume they have been tested/raced? I’m not sure but I imagine pretty fast. Ireland had a good junior sprinter who was running 10.4 100m and 20.69 in 200m as an 18 year old and he converted to rugby sevens and Fiji seem to have even faster guys in rugby sevens than us. So not sure what times they are running but that perhaps gives you some indication. heywoodu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
