Athletics Fiji

Back on Track 🇫🇯

Just three months after emergency appendicitis surgery, Yeshnil Karan continues to make outstanding progress on his road back to international competition.

His latest performance at the Gold Coast Marathon 5km saw him clock an impressive 15:00, finishing 11th overall against a quality field while still in full Commonwealth Games training. It's another positive step as he builds towards representing Fiji in Glasgow later this month.

We're proud of Yeshnil's resilience, determination, and commitment throughout his recovery, and we look forward to seeing him wear the Fiji colours once again.

A little late, but still well worth celebrating!

While we're a little behind in sharing this, we still wanted to acknowledge and celebrate Fiji's participation in the 2026 World Kids' Athletics Day Celebrations, held on 8 May 2026.

Under the theme "Celebration & Unity", Athletics Fiji delivered three Kids' Athletics programs across the country — two in Suva and one in Nadi — bringing together over 300 students in a fun-filled day of movement, learning, teamwork, and athletics.

World Kids' Athletics Day is an annual global initiative dedicated to encouraging children and young people to be active, develop fundamental movement skills, and experience the joy of athletics in an inclusive and supportive environment.

A huge thank you to all the schools, teachers, volunteers, coaches, parents, and partners who helped make these celebrations possible. Most importantly, thank you to the hundreds of young participants whose enthusiasm and energy truly embodied the spirit of Celebration & Unity.
