June 2018 Dear network colleagues, Several years ago Eva launched the idea to organise the INSNA Sunbelt Conference for the first time in the Netherlands. As many Dutch are not always prone to “think big”, she needed all her enthusiasm to convince her co-organisers to pick up this challenge. But her enthusiasm proved infectious, and it is with great pleasure and pride we now welcome you to the Netherlands and the historic city of Utrecht. Given the central position Dutch researchers occupy in the network of network researchers, we believe it is more than appropriate that the XXXVIII Sunbelt edition takes place here in Utrecht. This printed program and the INSNA Utrecht app (https://sunbelt.sites.uu.nl/conference- app/) contain all the information you need to enjoy your conference. Full abstracts can be found in the app and at the website sunbelt.sites.uu.nl. Last minute changes will be posted in the app and on the welcome screens in the buildings. As in other years, we like to organise Sunbelt following Sunbelt traditions, albeit in an Utrecht- fashion: • Presentations are to start and stop at the stated times as persons often hop from session to session to catch papers of interest. • Please load presentations onto the available laptops before the session to prevent that your presentation time is eaten up by preparing your presentation. If you insist on using your own laptop, ensure that you have a connector to connect to our standard VGA connectors. • If in incidental cases, the chair is not available in a session, we ask the last presenter to take over the role of chair. • Lunch time is long enough to take a walk along the canals and find a nice lunch spot; although swimming and surfing is dissuaded on the canals, we can definitely advice canoeing to enjoy the many historic buildings of the city -such as Beate’s house-! • One of the old canal warehouses will function as hospitality suite and is available from 9pm to 12 am on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday night. On Thursday, we will have diner in the oldest convenience store of the city “Winkel van Sinkel”, also along the canal. If you have any questions about the conference, seek out the organisers or one of the many assistants walking around. We hope you will enjoy the conference and the city! Eva, Vincent, Beate, Christian, Marijtje 3 WiFi Complimentary WiFi is available for all participants in the conference venues. Please find the WiFi information below.

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.

  • OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Latest News August 2016
    OCEANIA WEIGHTLIFTING FEDERATION Latest News August 2016 GREAT NEWS… Ele Opeloge, Olympic silver medallist ??? Weightlifting in the Pacific really needed this exciting news. Even though it is eight years late and under circumstances that should never have occurred. However, it shows that the lifters of the Pacific are on par with the rest of the world, if we eliminate drug cheats from the equation. Ele Opeloge, the +75kg category super athlete from Samoa made news one week ago when the +75Kg silver and bronze medallists from the 2008 Beijing Olympics were found positive by the second wave of testing – reanalyses of samples - by the IOC. Therefore, the silver medal will be awarded to the rightful athlete and that is Ele Opeloge, once all procedures are concluded. In advance the OWF congratulates this great athlete in becoming the first female athlete ever from the Pacific to win an Olympic medal and the 3rd overall in the Pacific. The 1st Olympic medal was won at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games by Paea Wolfgramm where he won a silver medal in boxing. Then at the Rio Olympics, a gold medal was won by Fiji in the seven a side rugby. And now a silver to Ele Opeloge in weightlifting. The people of Samoa very much deserve this Olympic medal. The country has promoted weightlifting for many years. They have the best weightlifting auditorium in the world. They have brilliant facilities thanks to the support of the Government especially the Hon. Prime Minister of Samoa Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, and most important the Wallwork family starting from Seiuli Paul Wallwork who was a great weightlifter in the past and President of the Oceania Weightlifting Federation from 1992 to 2008.

The Oceania Championships for senior, junior and youth was held for the first time in conjunction with the Pacific Games in Port Moresby. It produced the highest number of competitors and country participation in its history. Other highlights was the successful elite training camp held at the Oceania Weightlifting Institute prior to the World Championships. The fourth year of the OTIP program was a remarkable success breaking the 5,000 entry mark – a mark which we predicted would happen this year. Another highlight in the region was the Commonwealth Youth Games held in Samoa which produced four gold, four silver and six bronze medals for the Oceania region. In addition the OWF Development seminar held in Apia was exceptional. It gives us immense pride and satisfaction in highlighting the OWF achievements for this year.
