Am so proud of our tiny nation making their mark on the world as our ancestry has some hidden clues in our DNA about endurance, passion and power that has somehow been diluted through colonisation in ideas, food, culture and etc.
But so good to see Samoa reclaiming it's strengths not only literally but how inspiring it is for all Samoan's to see that with a lot of staying power and great coaches that you can literally become powerful through enduring to the end.
All of the weightlifters have been quite an inspiration in this sport in knowing that a lot of background work has been happening in gyms, through the years to get to them to this point where all that training, discipline and hard work has paid off in a few seconds of weight lifting on a world stage.
Malo le tauivi, malo le onosa'i. Ua maua le tini mo le taumafai. Well done on the efforts, well done on your patience. You have been rewarded for trying. Although in the eyes of the world we are seen as a tiny nation - we are definitely big at heart!...
