    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 18-year old Talha from Gujranwala, who was expected to take either gold or silver, had to content with the bronze by lifting a weight of 283 kilogramme in the 62kg competitions. He lifted 132 kg in snatch, creating Games record. His effort in clean and jerk remained 151 kg that helped the youngster to give Pakistan its first medal of the 71-nation Games which had been formally opened on Wednesday. Talha also made his Games debut. Last year in the same city Talha had clinched gold in the Commonwealth Junior Championship and silver in the senior category of the event. His best effort in snatch in his gold-studded stint in the junior category was 126 kg, which shows that he has improved a lot. The gold went to Malaysia’s Muhammad Aznil Bidin with a total of 288kg which carried 126 in snatch and 162 in clean and jerk. Morea Baru of Papua New Guinea got silver with a total of 286 kg, 127kg in snatch and 159kg in clean and jerk.

    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.
