Prime Minister, Voreqe Bainimarama said the whole nation joins him in saying to the Fiji squad now assembling in Rio: Toso Fiji! Go for Gold!
Bainimarama said he is leaving for Rio with hopes and prayers of every Fijian for our best Olympic Games ever.
He said our athletes have never been better prepared, and in the case of our men's rugby sevens team, they are already World Champions.
Bainimarama said Fiji has the best chance it has ever had to bring our first gold medal in the summer Olympics.
Bainimarama said Fiji has never stood taller than it does at these Games.
He said the athletes know that the eyes of every Fijian will be on them in the exciting television coverage of the various events.
The Prime Minister said in many ways, Fiji’s Olympic campaign in 2016 reflects the progress Fiji has made as a nation ‑ more focused, more united and with more opportunity for every Fijian than at any time in Fiji’s history.
The opening ceremony of the Olympics will start at 11am Saturday.
