    OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Newsletter The countdown to the Gold Coast continues… March 29, 2018 HANUABADA - THE GOLDEN VILLAGE Four years ago at the 2014 Glasgow Commonwealth Games, Papua New Guinea (PNG) made history by winning two gold medals at one Games and both of these medals came from weightlifting. Dika Toua, the golden girl of PNG, four times Olympian, won gold in the 53kg category. And a young man by the name of Steven Kari produced an outstanding performance in winning gold in the 94kg category. Both athletes are Hanuabada natives. The village in PNG is known as the golden village. These two athletes are the pride and joy of the seven and half million Papua New Guineans. At these Games on the Gold Coast next week, both lifters are going for back to back gold. It won’t be easy but they are very confident in pulling it off. But they will not be the only two lifters from Hanuabada looking for gold. There is another lifter, who is favourite in the 62kg category to win gold – Morea Baru. He is ranking first in the Commonwealth and well ahead of his oppositions. What a coup it would be, for the village of Hanuabada. A village which is in Port Moresby and thrives on producing international lifters. Steven Kari 2014 Glasgow Gold medallist Glasgow’s Gold medallist Dika Toua Dika Toua has competed at four Olympic Games with her best placing in 6th position at the Athens Games. The Gold Coast will be her fourth Commonwealth Games. She won silver in 2006 and gold in 2014.

    This content is drawn from Transparency International’s forthcoming Global Corruption Report: Sport. For more information on our Corruption in Sport Initiative, visit: www.transparency.org/sportintegrity 3.8 Malpractice in the 2010 Delhi Commonwealth Games and the renovation of Shivaji Stadium Ashutosh Kumar Mishra1 The 2010 Commonwealth Games, held in New Delhi, were marred by allegations of corruption and mismanagement, which tarnished the image of India by presenting it as a country blighted by high levels of fraud and malpractice.2 From the very beginning the event was shrouded in controversies, which continually surfaced and have still not been fully resolved. Concerns were raised during the preparatory phase, with construction work falling behind schedule and volunteers quitting in large numbers because of dissatisfaction with their assignments and with the training programme. Gross violations of workers’ rights were reported at construction sites, where workers were forced into begar.3 The conclusion of the Games brought to the fore further issues, such as the reported flouting of contracting rules by officials of the Organising Committee and the awarding of work contracts to incompetent agencies at hugely inflated prices.4 At the start it was not clear whether the Organising Committee would be covered under the national Right to Information (RTI) Act, as it did not come under the purview of the definition of ‘state’.5 Such grey areas can create a sense of immunity from rules, procedures and accountability.

The new weightlifting stadium where the Oceania Weightlifting Institute is based came alive at 5.00pm on July 12th, when a packed stadium welcomed the 30 countries to Samoa and set up a new era for the sport of weightlifting in this region. A very proud, Prime Minister of Samoa and Patron of the Oceania Weightlifting Federation, the Hon Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi praised the Oceania & Samoa Weightlifting Federations on producing such a world class event and in doing so creating a path whereby next year the weightlifting event of the South Pacific Games will be of equal standard. This international event was supported by the Government of Samoa through the South Pacific Games Authority as these championships were a test event for the South Pacific Games next year. The Championships was sponsored by Telecom Samoa and was a direct live telecast by SBC. The telecast was on for three and half days. It was also telecast live to quite a few countries in the Oceania region but more important it was telecast live three hours a day to China with an estimated viewing audience in excess of 300 million. The two national newspapers, Samoa Observer and Newsline made a superb coverage for the duration of the Championships. With front page, back page and inside pages all carrying stories and pictures of the event.
