Team Fiji leaves no stone unturned ahead of Glasgow Commonwealth Games campaign

Team Fiji is leaving no stone unturned in its preparations for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. Chef de Mission Ajay Ballu expressed confidence that the national side is ready both on and off the field, following months of meticulous planning.

Athletes have completed a series of workshops and medical assessments to ensure they arrive healthy and fully prepared. The final medical screening last month indicated that the 58-member squad is largely injury-free. Ballu highlighted that the team assembly covered crucial topics such as culture, team responsibilities, media commitments, travel, accommodation, competition schedules, and athlete welfare.

Discussions also focused on self-guidance, anti-doping, hydration, mental health, well-being, and nutrition. A dedicated medical unit, including three physiotherapists and one doctor, will support the contingent. The first group departs Fiji this Sunday, with the boxing team already in Scotland for their final training camp. Team Fiji will compete in athletics, basketball, boxing, judo, para-athletics, swimming, and weightlifting.

We also spoke on self-guiding, anti-doping, hydration, mental health and well-being, and nutrition. At the moment, they all look good and healthy, hopefully injury-free, and we’ll do our best.
