Sauvakacolo says she is aiming to wear the Blue Ribbon after the final race in the Fiji Finals.

“I’ve been training more in school every day on our daily basis and hopefully get up in what I’ve done today and will see how the competition is like during Cokes.”

Suva Grammar School finished in fourth place in the girls division winning three gold, three silver and two bronze medals.

The Coca-Cola Games will be held next Tuesday until Thursday at Suva’s ANZ Stadium.
