With only 15 days remaining until the 2025 Pacific Mini Games in Palau, all attention is on Sereana Viriviri, one of Fiji’s top track and field athletes, who is poised to spearhead the nation’s hopes for medals in the women’s high jump.
In a competition where success is determined by mere millimeters and the margins are incredibly narrow, Viriviri has established herself as a high jumper known for her exceptional athleticism, technical skill, and bold determination. As noted by Athletics Fiji, her ascent through the national ranks has been remarkable, driven by rigorous training and a steadfast commitment to ongoing improvement.
From her natural talent to her polished technique, the impressive Viriviri has transformed her strength and style into a powerful combination: an explosive run-up, a smooth take-off, and a bar clearance that captivates onlookers.
In every competition, she has challenged her personal bests, consistently elevating the standards for high jumpers in the region.
However, it’s not only her performance on the track that makes her remarkable. Outside of competition, Viriviri is known as a quiet achiever—humble, grounded, and unwavering in her quest for excellence.
Her blend of character and competitiveness positions her as a strong medal contender and a role model for future Fijian athletes. As Team Fiji gears up for the Games, Viriviri's role in the field events will be crucial. When she steps up in Palau, her goal will extend beyond simply clearing the bar; she aims to elevate it for all of Oceania to witness. The Pacific Mini Games kick off on June 29 in Koror, Palau.
