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. We congratulate the host city of Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea for their tireless efforts to ensure a successful and safe 15th Pacific Games. It is through the countless efforts of so many passionate athletes and the whole community of Palau that makes it possible and have made it happen for Palau to be amongst cham- pions of the pacific and the world in sport and standing proud on the winning podium. These efforts must continue to enhance and improve to strive for excellence in sport and outside of sports. We must continue to work with the right fuel, the right tool, and the right attitude to bring about sporting excellence through a champion and we look to our sports families, friends and sponsors in this continued countless partnership effort. Again, congratulations to another successful 2015 Team Palau to the Pacific Games, and the Palau National Olympic Committee and all National Sports Federations stand ready to host any game, drive on partnerships with our National and State Government and all sponsors, to bring forth the aspiring athlete and a citizen of our Nation. Sincerely, Frank Kyota President Palau National Olympic Committee 3 Message from the Chef de Mission, Team Palau 2015 Alii! I take this opportunity to congratulate each athlete, the coaches and our team management for a very successful Team Palau at the 2015 Pacific Games in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea. As a Chef De Mission for Team Palau, it is with great honor and pride that I had this opportunity to be part of a great team. Sports gives greater opportunities to young people and those that continue to be part of sports life in our community. With limited resources, and yet the strong support of our government, people and community, I attest that Palau performance continues to be at the elite level at this regional games. We are in regional and international sporting finals in our events and have guaranteed medals in our participation at the elite level. I am confident that we will continue to work together with our athletes, our sports federations, our coaches, managers, volunteers and officials to ensure that our commitment and fulfillment to make sport a great life experience and available for anyone and everyone in Palau as part of our national development through our own human resources. It is through sports opportunity and participation that provides those life values that contribute to the success of one person that gives the domino effect of many. Congratulations Team Palau – Pacific Games 2015! Thank you very much for this opportunity.

We’ve faced a lot of challenges, but as a small team we’ve managed to get the support from various sponsors to help us reach our goals. Palau is now in the semi-finals and the finals in the sprint events for Pacific Games. I remember back in the early years, we basically compete amongst our Micronesian friends and neighboring islands, but now we’re known around the Pacific Region, and I think it’s a big improvement for the sport of Athletics in Palau and we’re still working hard to improve. I witnessed the pain and saw the tears from our 4x100m Relay team after they finished their final race in the Pacific Games and I know that they’ve learned from it and they want it now, and have committed to continue to train and our next goal is to be recognized in the top three in the next Pacific Games in Tonga, 2019. Future plan: We have a Micronesian Championships coming up next year in June, and our goal now is to strengthen the school programs and continue to recruit more athletes to join the National Athletics program. We’ve already organized for the High School Cross Country for Septem- ber, Elementary Kids Athletics/ Championships in October, and High School Track and Field in early of next year, and hopefully we’ll have a good number of athletes for all the Track and Field Events to represent Palau in the Micronesian Championships in Pohnpei, FSM. SWIMMING Coach—(Billy Brown III) Team Palau finished with SEVEN Swimming National Records at the XV Pacific Games in Port of Moresby, Papua New Guinea! On July 10th the team wrapped up with only two races, yet setting three national records led by Noel and UB. Noel dropped 1:12 in the 1500 Free with a blazing 18:38 getting a fifth place finish in the event. In the race, he actually broke his own 800 Free National record with a 9:58 going out in the 1500. UB had a good 200 Fly breaking her own National Record by 5 se- conds swimming a 3:03 in the event. With that effort she placed sixth in the event which is the highest placing for her at the meet. Ikelau swam a beauty in the 200 back dropping 15 seconds from her short course time with a 3:17. With 26 for 28 best times total and having seven National Records set, this meet really showed how well the team has trained and fo- cused for this prestigious event. 13 TABLE TENNIS Coach—(Burton Wenty & Ramon Gullas) Table Tennis only had two male athletes and one female representing Team Palau and they are Samuel Saunders, Ellias Aguon, Zoya Renguul, coach Ra- mon Gullas and Burton Wenty as a team manager. The duration of the event was from 4th – 10th of July and there were 22 countries participating. The Belau Table Tennis Federation was well funded for the trip that everything required or needed were all provided such as equipments and uniforms, com- munication connections and especially the flight and daily expenses. Thanks to BTTF and PNOC for all the support that made this trip possible for our sports to compete in a much higher ranking level, to have learned to know what to do with our team and players to make more improvements in the fu- ture. Basically the officials and coaches meetings were held regularly and ordinary on the overview of the rules and regulation on equipment, rosters, introduction of officials, event venues, scheduling and transportation.

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.

  • Oceania Regional Umpire Report 2011
    OCEANIA REGION UMPIRE ACTIVITY REPORT TO THE 2011 ISF CONGRESS, OKLAHOMA, USA By Oceania Regional Coordinator Wayne Saunders Executive Summary Oceania is geographically spread over both the Northern and Southern hemispheres and has no regular historic regional competition. With more frequent ISF World Championship qualifiers there is a realistic opportunity for more regular international competition. However with the restriction of appointing only ISF certified umpires to ISF World Championship qualifiers there is little opportunity for umpires outside of Australia and New Zealand to be assigned. In Oceania there is a real need to revert back to allowing competing National Federations the right to select a suitably capable umpire to be assigned to ISF regional competitions. Communications With such a widely dispersed membership there is much reliance on electronic communications and access to training material available through ISF UmpSchool. The identification of an Umpire-in-Chief in more National Federations has provided the opportunity to increase direct communications with and between umpiring programmes. SKYPE video conferencing - Bob Stanton participated in the pitching presentation to the 2010 SNZ National Umpire Staff meeting and again at the 2011 meeting where current ISF umpiring matters were discussed with both the New Zealand and Australian National Umpiring Staff’s. Activity reports were received from Australia, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand and are attached. Pacific Games Softball was not included in the 2011 Pacific Games held in New Caledonia. The 2015 games to be hosted by Papua New Guinea will see a strong push by the hosts for softball to be reinstated. Regional Exchanges The Trans Tasman umpire exchange between Australia and New Zealand continues.
