Makitalena was grateful that her daughter was finally able to receive the monetary reward.
“We are thankful that she was given the $10,000and we are very happy with all she has achieved,” Makitalena said.
Tuitubou applauded the three athletes.
“We hope this small token will inspire you to win more medals for Fiji.
