Marist Brothers High School’s Iowane Qalovi and proud mum

Marist Brothers High School’s Iowane Qalovi was all smiles this morning after winning gold in the Senior Boys Shot Put event.

Qalovi who is originally from Tokou says he faced financial issues with his training and couldn’t afford to go to the gym so he improvised with his own setup at home.

Qalovi is no stranger to the winners podium as he also won gold for Marist in Shot Put and Discus in 2019.

He says this win is for his mum and brothers in Australia and Japan.

Nalani May, also of Marist Brothers High School won silver, and Jonathan Cokomata of Ratu Kadavulevu School won bronze.
