Ai Ádai!
I traveled with Team Guam to the VII
South Pacific Games in Palau in July through early August. The Games
met with consistent rain putting quite a damper on the excitement of
the events. While all the outdoor sports were affected by the
frequent rain pour, the energy of the volunteers in Palau made it
possible for Fast Pitch Softball to complete its pool play and
championship games. Both the men and women's fast pitch softball
teams brought home the GOLD medal from the Palau Games. It was the
only Federation to have both teams gold medal.
Swimming was another success story in
that every member of the team, a very young team I might add,
medaled. This is a very significant achievement for Team Guam
Swimming.
Team Guam also medaled in other sports, Athletics and Baseball to
mention a few. In order to capture the essence of the Games, I
interviewed many athletes regarding their expectations of themselves
and their overall impression of the Palau Games. I have fun
interviewing the members of Team Guam and of some of the members of
the South Pacific Games Council which changed its name to the
Pacific Games Council.
I conducted an interview with Vidhya Lakhan, President of the South
Pacific Games Council and Patrick Tellei, Chairman of the VII South
Pacific Games Mini Games to mention a few officials interviewed.
Another new feature are the Video Clips
that I have started to publish on this site. Make sure to find your
way to the Video Archive page and view a few of the video clips
already there. A clue would be for you to click on the video camera
link below.
