Nauru claimed two gold medals on the first day of powerlifting at the Sol2023 Pacific Games on Tuesday at Maranatha Hall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their golden haul came in the 84kg and 84 kg+ events, with Mesha\u2019h Denuga’s total lift of 425kg in the 84kg and Bessie O’Brien’s 570kg lift in the 84 kg+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ao Morea of PNG added gold to their medal tally in the 67kg event with a total lift of 372.5 kg, and Samantha Gware did the same in the 57kg event with a total lift of 330kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tahiti\u2019s Juliet Vuzier claimed gold in the 47kg with a total lift of 240 kg, followed by Mihi\u2019iti Malateste in the 52kg with a total lift of 235kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ludivine Breymand of New Caledonia snatched gold in the 63kg event with a total lift of 422.5kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is my first time to participate in such a big event, and I trained for my weight for four years and waited for this competition. I am so proud to receive gold today, which is such a big thing for me and my team,\u201d Breymand told the Pacific Games News Service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The host nation, Solomon Islands, also scooped medals (silver and bronze) in the 47kg, 69 kg, and 76kg events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Powerlifting for men will commence on Wednesday and conclude on Thursday with categories in squat, bench press, and deadlift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was boosted by the presence of two international referees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
