Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 20, 2022 #11 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Action really getting underway today. A few sports streaming on YouTube. I just watched the first session of weightlifting, where Dika Toua won her 13th Oceanian Championship according to the in-house announcer. “Sport has the power to change the world.

Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted June 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I found baseball and tennis boring. Badminton and Beach volleyball had close games. But is athletics or other sport started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 20, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Ada Nebauer won a bronze medal in Va’a. I don’t have the official entries, but I believe she might be the only athlete from Norfolk Island at the Games. Great result for her and the Island either way. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 21, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Manuila Raobu bags a gold medal in the snatch. He only had to beat Bautista , but a medal is a medal winning medals is half the fun of these Games anyways “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted June 24, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 24, 2022 So I must appreciate the Northern Mariana Islands for a great games! 9 sports we all knew VA'a golf and triathlon wouldn't be broadcasted but was secretly hoping for 1 of those at least maybe golf fuelled by the sea games broadcast like at least for 1 or 2 hours last 7-8 holes of leaders.. But nonetheless it's still fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fly_like_a_don 866 Posted June 24, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Of the 6 shown badminton and baseball had live scoreboards updated at each point/run. Beach volleyball and tennis had scoreboards shown once in a while . Athletics especially and weightlifting (at least redirected to scoreboards placed in hall) weren't particularly good with the former giving no clue on the results. Of all 9 sports beach volleyball was the most competitive and hence for me the sport of the games ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympian1010 7,418 Posted June 24, 2022 #20 Share Posted June 24, 2022 are the only NOCs without a medal heading into the last day of competition. I agree with @Fly_like_a_don that this has been an enjoyable edition of the Pacific Mini Games. The results system was pretty good, and I’m happy that local organizers were able to offer a bit of streaming, even if the quality wasn’t always ideal. “Sport has the power to change the world.
