Adita Milinia, who plays as a forward for the Fiji Airways Fijians 7s team, is concentrating on enhancing her defensive skills as she gears up for the forthcoming HSBC Vancouver 7s tournament. Having made her debut at the Perth 7s, Milinia, a former Fijiana 15s and Fijian Drua women’s winger, shared her exhilaration of playing in front of a large audience.

At just 21, Milinia began her rugby career with the Nadroga Rugby Union after initially participating in netball during her school years. She views her rugby talent as a divine gift. Reflecting on her experience in Perth, she expressed gratitude to her teammates for their support throughout her journey.

Transitioning from the Fijiana 15s to sevens rugby has posed some difficulties, but with the backing of her team, Milinia is optimistic about honing her defensive strategies and teamwork in the lead-up to the Vancouver 7s. “I didn’t think I would come this far, but I’m thankful to the Almighty for keeping me moving forward and not giving up on my dreams,” she states.

Milinia’s journey serves as an inspiration for young girls, encouraging them to pursue their dreams and leverage their talents. With strong support from her family, management, and the Fiji Rugby Union, she is excited to represent Fiji once again at the Vancouver tournament, scheduled for February 22-24. She embraces the opportunities presented to her and is determined to excel on the field.

This story highlights not only the personal growth and resilience of a young athlete but also the importance of community and encouragement in pursuing sports at competitive levels. It serves as a reminder that with determination and support, individuals can overcome challenges and reach their goals.
