2009 Pacific Mini Games end with a bang
After twelve days of competition between 21 countries in fifteen codes, the 2009 Pacific Mini Games have ended.
Four hundred and fifteen medals have been awarded, 144 of them gold, with the last of these going to Samoa.
The Samoan rugby sevens team came out firing in the gold medal match and Fiji didn't know what hit them. At half time the Samoans had scored 26 unanswered points and Fiji were shell-shocked. They mad a better effort in the second half but it was too little too late.
The Samoans said earlier that they were playing for a country in pain. They put in a brilliant performance - now they will head home to family, friends and their devastated homeland.
After the medal presentation came the games closing ceremony. Athletes marched onto the field for the last time and settled down to enjoy the colourful entertainment provided by some of the Cook Islands' top cultural groups. The flag was lowered and handed over to Wallis and Futuna, hosts of the next mini games, the flame was extinguished and then the event ended with a bang as a firework display provided a spectacular finale to two weeks of sport.

Closing prayer wraps it all up
During the closing ceremony three representatives, one from Cook Islands, one from Samoa and the third from Tonga, prayed a special prayer for our Pacific neighbours who so recently experienced the natural disaster of a tsunami. Even though the prayers were in different languages, you could feel the emotion as the nation combined for a one minute silence for our Pacific brothers and sisters.
The closing prayer was by Bishop Tutai Pere.
“Our most gracious and precious heavenly Father, in the Name of thy dear SonJ esus Christ – our Lord and Saviour, we bow our heads before You, uniting our hearts and soul in one anthem of praise and thanks giving – thanking You for a truly successful Pacific Mini Games 2009 that we have just had, and now finally reaches its end. Though our hearts have been shattered and bewildered, gripped and mingled both with a face of gladness and sadness, a smile filled with both joy and sorrowfulness, overwhelmed with success yet flooded with grief, a voice of rejoicing yet with a tumultuous inner feeling of groaning and travailing – yet through it all – the real champions and heroes of the games are not only the medal winners at this game – but more so our Tongan and Samoan warriors who in the midst of such a disastrous adversity, bore the brunt and the most torrent and turbulent force of our current dilemna – endured and victoriously held the race on to the very end.
Thus, if there be one lesson to be learned at this game – it is the lesson of hope, love, peace, comradeship, friendship, real sportsmanship and fellowship that we have all shared one with another
- Jeremiah 42:6 reminds us: “Whether it be good or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God”.
– The Apostle Paul sums it all up in Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things, through Christ Jesus which strengtheneth me”.
– And 2nd Corinthians 13:11, “Finally, brethren, farewell, be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of Love and Peace shall be with you”.
Bon voyage and safe travels to all our returning sports dignitaries, athletes and delegations, friends and visitors – back to your beloved home destinations, families and loved ones.
For our Cook Islands people – I pray that we continue to gladly share the moment – of a game successfully accomplished, of a job well done,
And a dream certainly come true. And the Peace of Christ which passeth all human understanding, keep your mind and heart in the Love of our Lordand Saviour Jesus Christ … to Him – always be the glory, praise and honour, both now and for evermore. Amen.”

For our Cook Islands people – I pray that we continue to gladly share the moment – of a game successfully accomplished, of a job well done,
And a dream certainly come true. And the Peace of Christ which passeth all human understanding, keep your mind and heart in the Love of our Lordand Saviour Jesus Christ … to Him – always be the glory, praise and honour, both now and for evermore. Amen.”
Games highlights
The highs and lows, at the Pacific Mini Games have been many – from the opening ceremony on Monday, September 21, right through to last night’s closing at BCI Stadium.
At sports games, the highs are usually about winning medals – not necessarily gold – and breaking records.
Ramesh Bina from New Caledonia won the first gold at the games in the women’s javelin on the first day of competition – Tuesday, September 22. Tongan Ana Po’uhila broke the women’s discus record on the same day – Tereapii Tapoki winning the country’s first medal, a bronze in the same event.
Po’uhila was to repeat the feat in the hammer throw and shot put.
Who could forget 12-year-old Solomon Islands’ Betty Babu’s win in the 5000m, along with Chris Votu’s win in the 3000m steeple-chase, and then the 10,000m.
But was the Fijians who dominated at the athletics – sprinters Niko Verekauta and Makelesi Bulikiobo winning five golds each, and javelin thrower Leslie Copeland throwing a new record of 74.98m. Bulikiobo broke the women’s 100m record in 11.97s.
The Tahitians cleaned up in the oe vaka (paddling) sprints in Muri lagoon, and also in the longer races – any crew that stops paddling for a drinks break has got to be good!
September 25 will probably be remembered as Golden Friday for the Cooks.
It was the day that the home country won seven golds – four in golf, two in bowls and one for the men’s touch team. And that doesn’t include the bronze for the men’s individual golf (Sonny Karati), the men’s bowling pairs silver, the women’s touch silver, the two silvers and bronze in paddling, and Mau George’s shot put bronze.
New Caledonia’s Frederic Erin broke two records in the jump pit – setting 7.74m in the long jump and 16.03m in the triple jump.
The half marathon was won by Georges Richmond (Tahiti Nui) in 1:14:01.52 – New Caledonia’s Josiane Chipeaux was the first women home.
Fiji took gold in the netball over Papua New Guinea, who in turn relegated the hosts to third place.
At the boxing, the super heavyweight bout between Tafai Nena (Tahiti Nui) and Jake Ageidu (Nauru) was one of the most exciting matches during the competition.
But was the Samoan Afaese Fata Kalepi who was the pick of the boxers – showing class, power and good defence on the way to his gold in the 75kg division. In the heavyweight class, local boy Vengi Hagai was unable to connect with the left hook – Tahitian Richardet Mahanora taking gold.
The Tahitians showed up in force at the boxing, although there were a few surprises from Kiribati and Nauru.
New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea (women) provided the form players and teams in squash, with Michael Rocklinger and Barbara Stubbings (both PNG) taking gold in the singles.
Vanuatu was strong, along with Fiji, Tahiti Nui and New Caledonia, in table tennis, with Priscila Tommy and Yoshua Shing from Vanuatu taking out the individual titles.
The lifters from Micronesia and Samoa dominated the weightlifting – with Epe Opologe (Samoa), Yukio Peter (Nauru) and Itte Detenamo (Nauru) predictably breaking South Pacific lifting records.
Sam Pera Jnr and younger brother Sirla didn’t disappoint, and the appearance of young Luisa Peters was a boost for women’s weightlifting.
The Cook Islands women surprised many at tennis, and its sailors ruled the waves.
For the home country, the highlights would have to be the gold medals – four in golf, four in bowls, three in sailing, two in touch and two intennis.
Apart from tennis, one could say that the Cooks certainly did dominate in the sports it won gold in.
Roll on Noumea 2011.

Aere ra, e kia manuia!
The eighth Pacific Mini Games came to a close last night in true Cook Islands fashion.
Drumbeats and beautiful ura sent off athletes from the 21 nations that took part in the games and shared the moments over the past 12 days.
And there were some amazing moments including the wonderful closing ceremony.
In fact, Cook Islands culture was the centre of attention on the last night of the games with Te Maeva Nui teams putting on a show for our visitors to remember.
Not a negative word was said about the overall games at the closing with the people of the Cook Islands uniting to say farewell to our Pacific brothers and sisters.
As they did at the opening ceremony, teams paraded again through the BCI stadium with each nation picking their outstanding athlete of the gamesas their flag bearer.
For the Cook Islands, double tennis gold medallist Kai- rangi Vano was honoured with the role.
The youngster’s awesome performance on the tennis court has taken her from a little known athlete to a household name.
So have a number of other Cook Islands athletes like sailing sensation Helema Williams and golfing pro Elmay Viking and bowls brothers in arms David Akaruru and Nelson Akava to name just a few.
Solomon Islands mini star Betty Babalu who won the 5000m run, albeit causing some controversy, carried her nation’s flag and so did Samoan queen of weightlifting Ele Opeloge.
Not a single team will leave our shores without having had some magic moments – many of which will centre around the generosity of the Cook Islands people.
Not all memories will be fond ones though as some athletes will no doubt never forget about the moment they let a medal slip through their fingers – especially a gold one.
There will be other games to prove themselves like the next Pacific Mini Games in Wallis and Futuna in 2013, and of course the full-size Pacific Games in New Caledonia in 2011.
Mixed with the joy and celebration of the closing ceremony, a moment of silence was called and candles lit in honour of the tsunami victims in the Samoas and in Tonga, and for their warriors who carried on the fight on the sports field.
The moment of silence also brought home the strength of the love Pacific islanders have for their families and for each other.
After a moving prayer by Bishop Tutai Pere, it was time to reflect on the good times and share them with new found friends.
Fireworks brought the festivities to an end at the BCI stadium with teams heading to town for some fun.
Rarotonga will no doubt grind back to its slower pace by Sunday – but 2009 Pacific Mini Games moments will be talked about for some time to come.
