The PNG Weightlifting Federation has a vision to win five gold medals at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia.
President, Sir John Dawanincura, says he believes this vision can be achieved.
“With the Pacific Games, we had a vision to win 17-20 gold medals. We won 13. But our lifters did their best and the rest is history,” said Dawanincura.
He said the country’s weightlifters will have a good lead up to 2018 with major international events such as the Commonwealth Senior, Junior and Youth Championships in India this October plus the 2015 World Championships later in the USA.
“These events will be a stepping stone to 2018.We are aiming for five gold medals. We have the athletes here to do it.
“That is our vision and we must always have a vision to work towards achieving what we want,” said Dawanincura.
