01 AUGUST 2012 LONDON (PACNEWS) ----Olympic newcomer and caretaker President for Solomon Islands National Olympic Committee- James Iroga is satisfied with everything that London 2012 has to offer.
“So far so good, no problems,” said Iroga who’s got an elections coming up in November following drastic changes implemented by Oceania National Olympic Committee straight after the Pacific Games last year because of governance and accountability issues.
Two of his athletes, judoka Tony Lamo and weightlifter Jenly Wini have finished their competition with better standings while two more both in athletics 100m- Pauline Kwalea (women) and Chris Walesi (men) will compete on Friday and Saturday respectively.
“We are okay and the athletes have performed to our expectation at this level of competition.
“In terms of the atmosphere here is very friendly we share with our friends too in the Pacific.
“We’ve warned our athletes about their diet there’s a lot of food here compare with way back home and athletes may eat and if they take little bit but its nutritious food so it’ll add on to their weight so we hope they compete quickly and start enjoying the food.”….PACNEWS (PINA)
