Daunakamakama ready for Games debut

Fiji's boxing hopeful, Jasmine Daunakamakama, expressed confidence and readiness as she prepares to make her debut at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The 21-year-old athlete believes her current preparation is the most robust of her career.

Daunakamakama recently completed a two-week training camp in Ireland, which she described as highly beneficial for improving both her technical skills and mental resilience. "The preps for this Commonwealth Games have been the best so far," she stated. "We had a two-week camp in Ireland that was so good, just testing our skill set and our mental space before heading into the Commonwealth Games."

Now in her third year at the elite level, Daunakamakama is embracing the opportunity to represent Fiji on a significant international stage. She finds the experience of sharing the athletes' village with competitors from various sports adds to the excitement of the Games environment. Daunakamakama is focused on enjoying the moment and delivering a strong performance for Team Fiji.

She is scheduled to face Adelaide Djabatey of Ghana in the women's 57-kilogram featherweight division on Monday. A victory in this match would advance her to the quarterfinals.
