Team Fiji to finalise selection for Pacific Games

TEAM Fiji chef de mission Patrick Bower has called on national federation officials to co-operate as they move closer to narrowing down the final team to the Pacific Games in Samoa in July later this year.

The final team names were submitted on Wednesday where the selection justification committee will review the selection of athletes.

“We are asking team officials for their co-operation as we will be going through the final selection process in the coming days,” Bower said.

“Leaders have been selected in each organisation because of the skill of being able to plan well and coordinate their team so they may deliver on schedule.”

The selection justification committee, which consists of prominent people with sporting backgrounds and legal advisers, has a crucial task of verifying names over the next few days.

“Each federation has narrowed down their final team and the selection justification committee has a job of checking their credentials to see that everything is proper.

“This committee will match the athletes’ names to the selection criteria provided by the national federations and will analyse accordingly to see if their spot in the final team is deserved.”

Bower said athletes whose names were dropped from the final team but felt they deserved a spot in the team could make an appeal to FASANOC 48 hours after the release of names.

“The athletes can bring in a copy of their record from training and competitions, file it to the committee and bring a legal advisor within the 48 hour period.”
