Fiji’s biggest sporting mistake will always be chasing her off the national team: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1089908/cikamatana-wins-again-at-roma-world-cup

 

I can’t believe they let her slip through they’re grasps. They “Kobe”ed a medal away right there.

Sure sounds like they only have themselves to blame tbh.
