"All the lifting is for them."

Amoe-Tarrant was born in Nauru and lived there until she was 12 years of age.

Her mother died of kidney problems in 2009, so she and her siblings were adopted by their grandparents, who brought them to Australia.

Four years ago, Amoe-Tarrant won a silver medal for her country of birth, and now the 23-year-old has one as an Australian.

This is the first time that NPF officers have been deployed to the mission in the Central African nation.

Superintendent Imran Scotty, Sergeant Drusky Dabadauw and Senior Constable Jacaranda Akibwib were selected after successfully completing a four-week United Nations Police (UNPOL) pre-deployment training programme in Ankara, Turkey in February.

Reanna Solomon, a mother of five, died aged 40 on July 3. 

Despite nearly half of Nauru's population testing positive in early July, hers is the only death from the virus.

She won gold in the women’s over-75 kilograms super-heavyweights at Manchester 2002 and competed at the Olympic Games in 2004, finishing 11th.

"It was so sad," said Maximina Uepa, 19, after finishing third in the women's 76kg today.

"I would like to dedicate my medal to her memory."

President Lionel Aingimea said that out of this number, 3 children received their first dose (89 per cent) and 88 children received their second dose (39 per cent) and are therefore fully vaccinated.

“Children who have taken their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine three weeks ago are now eligible to take the second dose.”

“Parents and guardians are advised that if your child has Covid, it is better to wait three months from the time of infection to get their first dose. This will help the body increase immunity.”

The six-country Memorandum of Understanding sets out partners’ intentions to deliver timely, quality project outcomes.

The East Micronesia Cable is an ambitious project to deliver secure, transparent and reliable telecommunications infrastructure to connect Kosrae (FSM), Nauru, and Tarawa (Kiribati) with the existing HANTRU-1 cable at Pohnpei (FSM).

Uepa scooped the country’s first medal in the Women’s 76kg final yesterday.

The 19-year-old lifted 90kg in the first snatch attempt, 94kg in the second and 96kg in the third attempt.

Uepa went on to lift 115kg in the first clean and jerk attempt and 119kg in the second attempt.

She lifted a total of 215kg in the event.

The gold medal was won by Canada’s Maya Laylor while Nigeria’s Taiwo Liadi settled for silver.

Abouke lifted 87kg in her first snatch attempt and 110kg in her first clean and jerk attempt.

The category’s gold medal went to Sarah Davis of England.

Canada’s Alexis Ashworth claimed silver and bronze was won by Harjinder Kaur of India.

Nauru’s Bernice Detundamo came in 12th in the Women’s 64kg weightlifting category final.

President Lionel Aingimea confirmed that out of this number, 10 children received their first dose (88 per cent) and 50 children received their second dose (36 per cent) and are therefore fully vaccinated.

Parents and guardians are advised that if your child has Covid, it is better to wait three months from the time of infection to get their first dose.

This will help the body increase immunity.
