Marz Akapito, FSM Team Attache
July 23, 2012
Years of working for and chasing after their "olympic dream" for the six FSM athletes is now at its final count-down as countries start to make their way to the London Games -- the XXX Olympic Games. Four of the six athletes: John Howard, Mihter Wendolin (Track and Field); Kerson Hadley and Debra Daniel (Swimming) have been training in Liverpool, England since June 11 to put in final preps and climatize to the weather before the Games. They will move to the Olympic Village on July 23. Manuel Minginfel, Oceania's best weightlifter in 2012, will arrive London on July 24 with other Pacific lifters who have been training at the institute in New Caledonia. Finally, Keitani Graham, making his first debut at the Olympics competing in the 84kg division in Greco-Roman Wrestling, is leaving Honolulu today where he has been training with some USA wrestlers. Although a first-timer at the Olympics, Keitani has been at international competitions the past previous years and has earned his "invitation" by FILA to compete at the Olympics by dominating in his sport not only in Micronesia but the Pacific as well.
