7 Medals for the Day 2 of Competition
Weightlifting:
The women's weightlifting team brought excitement to the platform on Day 2, claiming a total of six medals.
Riana Froger's performance earned her a well-deserved bronze in the Women’s U59KG Clean & Jerk, along with another bronze in the Snatch / Clean & Jerk total.
Elizabeth Granger, also competing in the Women’s U59kg category, secured bronze in the Snatch.
Birmingham Commonwealth Games weightlifter Emma McIntyre added to the tally by clinching gold in the Women’s U65kg Snatch / Clean & Jerk, as well as silver in both the Snatch and Clean & Jerk categories.
Archery:
The Archery team endured some tricky conditions at the range today. Strong ocean wind and scorching heat didn’t make things easy. The archery competition is not part of the Pacific Games medal tally, the events are Continental Cup Tournaments.
Nuala Edmundson managed the conditions well to secure third place in the 720 Ranking Round, resulting in a bronze medal.
The combined scores from both Edmundson and teammate Finn Matheson positioned the team second overall in the Mixed Team and Continental Matchplay matches.
Table Tennis
The Men’s Para Table Tennis duo, comprising Matt Hall and James Goulding, faced formidable opponents on Day 2. Despite a great effort, Papa New Guinea and Tahiti proved too strong, going down 4-1 and 5-0, respectively.
