  • England Win USA Sevens
    IV Wednesday 14th February, 2006 Sir Viv slams Lara’s absence England PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC): Former West Indies cricket captain Sir Vivian Richards is questioning Brian Lara’s absence from the forthcoming one-day international series in New Zealand. In a clear reference to the triple world record win USA holder being allowed to bypass the limited overs series in New Zealand, Sir Vivian told reporters at the Piarco International Airport where the Stanford Twenty/20 “Cheque Presentation Ceremony” was held Friday, that the West Indies should roster its best available team at all times. Sevens “I would like to have seen the best team in New Zealand, because presently we have not been hitting that note that we have been accus- tomed to hitting over the years, I am not going to single out anyone but you know what I am talk- ing about,” Sir Vivian said. Lighter workload The 36-year-old Lara is being given a lighter workload these days to preserve his career but Sir Vivian believes a New Zealand trip that usu- ally proves difficult for the Caribbean side requires the strongest team. “I would have really loved to see our best team in that part of the world, because we need our best players at this time,” Sir Vivian stated. The 53-year-old Antiguan, who captained a powerful and all-conquering West Indies team during the 1980s, also slammed the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for what he described as the inefficient manner in which they have carried out their administrative duties over the years.

After eight long years of waiting, Ele Opeloge was awarded the silver medal which she rightfully deserved from the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. The first World Youth Champion from the region was Eileen Cikamatana from Fiji winning gold in the 69kg in the clean & jerk in Penang. Silver medal went to Kiana Elliot from Australia with a world class performance at the World Junior Championships in Georgia – our 15 lifters from 11 countries did a great job at the Rio Olympic Games. The performance in Rio by our two 62kg category lifters – Morea Baru from PNG and Nevo Ioane from Samoa – was brilliant. These are only some of the achievements of the OWF during 2016: The magnificent technical seminar held in Suva, upgraded 16 technical officials from the Pacific Islands to international category two level. The outstanding Oceania Championships and Olympic Qualification event was held in Suva, Fiji. And also the extraordinarily successful OTIP program and subsequent OTIP training camp in New Caledonia. It gives us immense pride and satisfaction in highlighting the OWF achievements for this year: FEBRUARY 2016 – EMAIL PACIFIC ISLANDS TOURNAMENT The 2016 Pacific Islands Email tournament turned out to be another great success. This tournament is producing some excellent results every year and it is good for the island nations as it kick starts their year of competition.

  • OWF Newsletter
    OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Newsletter September 30, 2019 OWF President turns 50 years old. Happy Birthday!! The Hon. Marcus Stephen MP, President of the Oceania Weightlifting Federation, st turn 50 on the 1 October. On behalf of the OWF we wish Marcus all the very best on this special day of his life. And we wish him a healthy and prosperous future in the many years ahead of him. Everybody should be aware that if it wasn’t for Marcus Stephen – the Pacific island countries of Oceania would not be where they are today. It was Marcus who started that ball rolling, when he walked in to the Hawthorn Recreation Centre at the age of 16, where the famous Hawthorn Weightlifting Club was housed. Marcus who was student at St. Bedes College, was identified as a talent through the school program – the clean & jerk - that Victoria Weightlifting was running at the time. During that period of time, over 27,000 students competed annually in the ‘clean & jerk’ program in Victoria alone. I had the privilege of coaching Marcus from 1985 onwards. He became a truly world class athlete. Winning seven gold medals, and five silver medals at the Commonwealth Games. In addition a silver medal at the Athens World championships in 1999 where he clean & jerked a magic 172.5kg in the 62kg category. At that event he was amongst the greatest weightlifters in the world at the time, Lee Maosheng (China), Sabanis Leonidas (Greece), Sevdalin Minchev (Bulgaria), Nikolai Pashlov (Croazia), Shi Zhiyoung (China), Hafiz Suleymanoglu (Turkey), Yurik Sarkisian (Australia) and many other champion.

There are also limited researches on this topic. However, tourism, as a new form of leisure activity, changed people’s living styles and contributed to the economy too tremen- dously to be ignored by the sociologists. This project studied tour- ists’ behaviour and perception towards Hong Kong Sevens, an inter- nationally renowned and successful sports event in Hong Kong. The- ories on tourist gaze by Urry & Larson were examined in the context of Hong Kong Sevens. What the gazes overseas and local spectators were, as well as a conjecture where the gazes are formulated, were discussed. 1 Acknowledgement I would like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to Mr Robbie McRobbie of Hong Kong Rugby Football Union (HKRFU) and all his colleagues in HKRFU for offering me the op- portunity and supports to make this research project possible.
