Ryan Pini’s win of two Gold medals at this year’s World Masters Swimming Championships made it the first ever medal win for Papua New Guinea.
This was at the 17th World Masters Swimming Championship.
Pini told EMTV Sports that he was proud of the achievement.
He described the win of two gold and silver medals as the ‘First for PNG’.
When Pini was asked about the future said apart from waiting for the World Masters Championships, he said he will still be making appearances in and out of the pool.
Pini was accompanied by Ashley Seeto, who also represented Papua New Guinea with Pini at the event.
He said the main focus for the swimming fraternity in the next 6 to 12 months will be the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the Oceania Swimming Championships that PNG will host come July next year.
