“After winning the heats on Thursday, I punched the air so I thought of doing something different today,” he said.

“After winning the final I celebrated shirtless because I wanted to show the world that Korovuto can compete in a big competition like the Coke Games.

“One of the old boys reminded me that if I win to take off my vest and show the world that Korovuto College is here to compete and win.”
