Fijian weightlifter Apakuki Tabuawaiwai is determined to make a significant impact in the upcoming season, following a challenging start last year.

Throughout his career, Tabuawaiwai has represented Fiji in numerous prestigious events, including the Commonwealth Championships and the Pacific Games. With a clear understanding of the effort required to excel in his weight class, he is setting ambitious goals for 2026.
