Day 9 - Arafura Games

Today is ocean event for the athletes. The event routes and layout for surf ski, surf board and ironman were longer and different than the nationals held in Singapore. The current and tides also varied throughout the half day event. With the scorching heat and dry weather, the athletes used their last strengths to compete all their final few events. Both the men’s and women’s team gained much exposure and experience. It is a job well done.

In the evening, we went for the prize presentation ceremony held at Casuarina Beach. The presentation ceremony overlooked the gorgeous and vast beach and we were treated to a beautiful sunset while watching the winning athletes receive their medals. After which, a sumptuous bbq dinner of chicken kebabs and different varieties of salads were laid out.
