“I’m not a stranger to the Chow Games this is the system that I came through. Like it says on the board “where it all began” for me. It was a very important phase in my life, this was the sport that I chose to live off and make my money. And I’m just really excited as we are a week away from the Chow Games, I know what the kids are thinking and feeling.”

18 districts with more than 1700 athletes are set to take part this year.

The 2019 Chow Games will begin next Friday with the finals set to take place next Saturday at the ANZ Stadium in Suva.
