In the spirit of a tough sporting challenge, the 2009 Pacific Mini Games presented numerous obstacles for the Cook Islands, its people, and Government. And although the early path to ‘victory’ was very much an uphill battle I am pleased to say that those faced with the task of producing these Games did not shy away from the jobs at hand. Of course, those jobs were many and everyone from the tireless volunteers to the relentless efforts of the organisers are deserving of high praise. In the aftermath of such a major event, particularly for a small island nation like ours, the focus often falls on the nature of ‘how’ and ‘why’ we struggled with certain difficulties.

Since the inception of Palau to be the 200 member of the Olympic Movement in 1999, Palau has strive for excellence through sport. We have hosted 2 Micronesian Games, 1 Mini Pacific Games and 10 Belau National Games. In addition, have participated and send over 1000 athletes abroad to represent Palau in various regional and internation- al sporting events such as the 2002 Micronesian Games in Pohnpei, FSM, 2003 South Pacific Games in Fiji, 2006 Micronesian Games in CNMI, 2007 Pacific Games in Samoa, 2011 Pacific Games in New Caledonia, 2014 Microne- sian Games, and just recently the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby, PNG. Palau has participated in all the Summer Olympic Games since 2000. Palau National Olympic Committee and the respective National Sports Federations would not have been able to achieve these many milestones without the unwavering support of the Palau National Government and the many sponsors and donors, families, coaches, athletes and key individuals who all have continued their committed full support to the nu- merous programs and development of sports in Palau. The 15th Pacific Games sees Palau’s seventh appearance in a competition encompassing the 24 member countries of the Oceania Region including Australia and New Zealand.

  • The South Pacific Games the Sporting Event of the Pacific
    The South Pacific Games The Sporting Event of the Pacific The end of World War II saw many former territories and possessions leave the confines imposed by their colonial rulers and become independent nations. At about the same time (1947), the South Pacific Commission (SPC) was created to foster regionalism among the Pacific Islands. In 1957, the SPC agreed to begin a triennial, Olympic-style sporting event, which would be called the South Pacific Games (SPG). All the countries of Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia, with the exceptions of Australia and New Zealand, would take part. An SPG Council and Charter were developed and the first SPG were held in Fiji (they had the best facilities at the time) on August 29, 1963. About 750 athletes and officials from 13 island territories and nations participated in the inaugural event. The 1966 Games took place in Noumea, New Caledonia. Fourteen territories and nations sent twice as many participants as had taken part in the first Games, to compete on a new track and field complex built for the SPG. Guam’s first participation was in the 3 rd SPG at Papua New Guinea, in 1969. The 3 rd Games were opened by the Duke and Duchess of Kent in Port Moresby, who presided over elaborate opening and closing ceremonies, which set the standard for future Games. So as not to compete with the 1972 Olympics in Munich, the schedule for the Games was accelerated and the 4 th SPG was held in 1971 in Tahiti. For the first time, over 2000 athletes and coaches from 14 Island nations and territories participated, and enjoyed The host country’s new stadium and swimming pool.

Athletes’ success is built on the three or four years of preparation prior to these events, and is made possible by ongoing funding support that enables us to prepare for the build up to major regional and international competitions. A new Division I am pleased to announce that there is now a new Central- Urban Division for the Sports Commission. This arose out of our realisation that many of the people we have worked with in rural outreach programs have now relocated in Suva city. The Commission recognised its responsibility towards these people, particularly the youth, who contribute considerably to the growing numbers moving from rural to urban areas.
