The newly-formed Fiji Weightlifting Association which used to be the Levuka Weightlifting Club is not focusing on attending international tournaments after separating itself from Weightlifting Fiji.

Association President Peni Tawai says they will be holding monthly competitions as they will try and get their lifters back on form.

“At the moment we’re not focusing on the funding of this association and also not focusing on representing Fiji in any international tournament. This association was formed to wait for the right people and right time to come in to take us back to the place where I ca call the light.”
