Waisale Inoke, an up-and-coming star in Fijian athletics, has been chosen to represent his country at the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, which will take place from March 21-23. This selection marks a significant milestone in Inoke’s burgeoning career, particularly as he gears up to compete in the 60-meter event, adding to his impressive resume.
Inoke recently enjoyed a stellar indoor season, securing a national indoor record in the men’s heptathlon twice. He also clocked an impressive time of 6.88 seconds in the 60 meters, falling just short of the national indoor record.

The upcoming World Championships will see Inoke join 13 other Pacific Island athletes selected by their federations, representing the Oceania team. This event is expected to be highly competitive, featuring some of the world’s best athletes.
Inoke’s achievements resonate with the momentum of Fijian athletics, highlighted by the accomplishments of fellow athletes like Joana Vakasobuduru, who recently shattered the women’s 200 meters indoor record. Together, these athletes are paving the way for a brighter future in sports for Fiji.
With such talent emerging from the country, Inoke’s participation in the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships symbolizes not just personal achievement, but also a source of national pride and inspiration for future generations of athletes in Fiji. The commitment and dedication demonstrated by athletes like Inoke and Vakasobuduru reflect the potential and talent present in Fijian sports, igniting hope for further successes on international stages.
