NOCSI Congratulates Weightlifters 💪💪💪

The National Olympic Committee of Solomon Islands (NOCSI) congratulates our dedicated weightlifters on their outstanding performance at the 2026 regional championships in Samoa.

The team achieved remarkable success, securing a total of six medals, with Jenly Wini shining brightly by winning gold in the 53kg senior category. Her achievement continues to inspire the next generation of weightlifters in our nation.

NOCSI also extends its heartfelt congratulations to Freeman Hale and Shimara Wini, IOC scholarship recipients through the NOCSI for their exceptional performances and are on track toward the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. Additionally, we celebrate Hale’s impressive medal haul of two golds and two silvers.

Our four-athlete team represented Solomon Islands at the Samoa IBF Universal Weightlifting Cup, which incorporated the Oceania Senior, Junior, and Youth Championships, as well as the Commonwealth Junior and Youth Championships. Despite facing a highly competitive international field, our athletes demonstrated both valuable experience and emerging talent, making us proud of their achievements and potential for future success.

Samo George Georgina bags bronze💪

Female judoka athlete Samo George Georgina, a recipient of the LA 2028 Olympic Games IOC Scholarship through the NOCSI, is making significant strides toward making history. Her recent impressive performance at the Mandurah Oceania Open 2026 in Australia, as reported by the Judo Federation Secretary General, highlights her rising prominence on the international stage.

The 22-year-old secured a bronze medal in the women’s 63kg division on Saturday, further strengthening her bid for qualification to the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, USA.
If she qualifies, Georgina will become the first female judoka from the Solomon Islands to compete at the Olympic Games—a historic milestone for her country.

The tournament saw a total of 73 judokas from 16 countries competing across various weight divisions. Despite financial constraints limiting the Solomon Islands to only two athletes representing the nation, the overall achievement was recognized as a major success for the federation.

Judo Federation Solomon Islands Secretary General, Laven Ronnie Safue, further added “This is a milestone for our federation. Georgina also won a bronze medal at the 2023 Pacific Games, and we are proud to see her continue performing well on the international stage.”
Safue emphasized the federation's ongoing commitment to nurturing local talent, noting that the country has many promising judokas capable of representing Solomon Islands in future regional and international competitions.

He confirmed that Georgina is now among the strongest prospects for Olympic qualification ahead of the 2028 Games.💪🙏👇
