Fiji finishes sixth in Pacific Games

Team Fiji finished sixth at the 17th Pacific Games in the Solomon Islands with 91 medals, the country’s lowest ranking to date.

Fiji managed to secure 21 gold, 30 silver and 40 bronze medals after two weeks of competition in Honiara.

In the 2019 edition of the Games in Samoa, Team Fiji was ranked fifth with 116 medals of which 35 was gold, 38 silver and 43 bronze.

The 2025 Mini Games will be another chapter in the sporting odyssey.
