ON THE RISE - TONGAN SWIMMER NOELANI DAY

She's currently swimming for Tonga at the Pacific Games and came 6th place female in the 5km Open Water out of a total of 21 open water competitors including men. Her highlights of this games was making the 50m Breast Stroke final.
Noelani and Team Tonga take on the 50m Medley relay tonight in their last pool event of the games.
