“The athletes are very excited about this competition, while it may be a Mini Games we don’t take any tournament lightly. Everybody’s been very focused and working very hard towards the goal of doing the best that they can.”

After months of intense, high-pressure training, Elder has recently shifted focus to recovery and injury prevention, gradually tapering the workload to ensure the athletes are in peak condition for the event.

As the Games approach, the priority is keeping every lifter healthy and ready for competition.

The 2025 Pacific Mini Games will take place in Palau, kicking off this Sunday.
