It was an amazing end to the school year for 13-year-old Vilivo Whippy who achieved his final goal yesterday at the 2019 Chow Games.

Always having to balance school work and his extracurricular activities, Whippy took home two gold medals from the tournament.

Described as a hardworking and humble boy – Vilivo Whippy’s mother Seravina Whippy says having her son bring home two gold medals was an early Christmas gift.

When he came to rest I was just telling him, because he has been winning medals especially the gold medals after for the last three years. So this year I pushed him in the 200 meters but we fell short and I told him in the 400 meters you haven’t done the 200 meters so try this event.

Seravina Whippy who is a Math teacher at Balentine Memorial School says she is satisfied with Vilivo’s school work and his sporting achievements.

Vilivo he’s a very humble boy. He just listens and he loves to listen to music and play on his own remix songs, that’s what he does.

The shy 13-year-old says the most challenging thing for him was being away from his friends.

I was trying to just get away from them and just eat somewhere else.

Whippy won gold in the 400 meters and 4 x 4 events at the Chow games yesterday which helped the Suva team win the overall chow games.
