By Talei Matairakula

Daniel Mario Savea has made Rotuma High School proud, bagging the school's first medal at the 2022 Coca-Cola Games

The Juju native aimed for gold but was meters short as he had to settle for a second in the junior boys shotput event.

He threw a distance of 13.43m to take home a silver medal.

The 15-year-old says he was aiming for a podium finish and he has achieved that.

"It is like my first time, I never experienced this and this is my first time experiencing it. The crowd was alot and in the island there is not much crowd."
