Torch relay

Leading Aircraftwoman Sarah Negrin from 33 Squadron at RAAF Base Amberley and Flight Lieutenant Brett Smith from 82 Wing, are among the dedicated torchbearers carrying the Legacy Flame.

Leading Aircraftwoman Sarah Negrin, stationed at RAAF Base Amberley, volunteered without hesitation to participate in the relay after learning about it at this year's Anzac Day service. Negrin expressed her excitement at the opportunity to not only witness the relay but also actively contribute to its historical significance.

To have the students carry the baton brought the communities together in unison, manifesting the slogan of the Samoa 2019 Pacific Games, “one in spirit.” 

The Savai'i leg of the relay will continue on Tuesday and Wednesday before coming to Upolu.

People of all ages flooded the streets as the torch baton for the Games made its way through and the event was live-streamed on Facebook.
