Rova to be flag-bearer at Pacific School Games in Adelaide

13-year-old Rosemarie Rova the younger sister of the 200m Backstroke women's South Pacific Games gold medalist Cheyenne Rova will be Fiji's flag‑bearer at the Pacific School Games in Adelaide.

Head coach Jennifer Liew says Rova is someone they will look out for in the 200 meters backstroke but at the same time they will be expecting a lot of tough competition from other participating countries and they hope to do well at each event.

Liew says the team has prepared well and they expect to learn as much as they can from this international event and to make our country proud.

Our 49 swimming team members are expected to leave our shores this Wednesday.

The Pacific School Games will be held on the 20th to the 27th of this month.
