The sprint king and queens of the Pacific Mini Games in Palau were crowned over the weekend, with the 100 metre and women’s athletics final taking place on Saturday night.
PNG’s Pais Wisil claimed gold for PNG in the men while Australia’s Keyedel Smith beat out PNG’s Isila Apkup in the women.
Action continues today with the games’ showcase event baseball set to conclude later today in a gold medal showdown between Guam and home nation Palau.
However as for the ABC’s Declan Bryne and Sam Wykes – their time in Palau is finished, but not before some deep reflection on their experience.
