pacific games, noumea 2011 - Oceania Athletics Association

All performances above 950 points were included, and
then all other gold-medal winning performances below that
standard were added to the list.
My candidate for Athlete of the Games was Frederic Erin
of New Caledonia. He scored 1151 on the IAAF Tables for
his 8.12m in the Long Jump, breaking the Games Record
in the process. It was an Olympic B-Qualifying
performance, National Record and the distance would
have placed him 9 th in the World Championships in
Daegu, South Korea. In addition he won the Triple Jump
with a Games Record distance of 16.10m. He keeps on
getting better and better – and is still a youthful 31 years
of age. Also 31 years young is Mowen Boino (PNG) who
had the second ranked performance in the 400m Hurdles
– also in a new Games Record.
Those performances in bold print indicate that the Games
Record was either equaled, or broken.
The obvious top candidate for Best Female Athlete of the
Games is PNG‘s Toea Wisil. Not only did she win the
sprint-treble (100m, 200m & 400m), but she was involved
in four of the top five performance using the IAAF Tables
method of ranking. Toea was a member of the winning
PNG 4 x 100m & 4 x 400m Relays.
In August 2010 it was approved by the Games council to
merge the records for the South Pacific Games / Pacific
Games and those for the Mini Games. At the conclusion
of the Nouméa Games the records were updated and
appear on the following pages.
