He lifted gold, smashed records… and still laughs like a regular 16-year-old.🏋️‍♂️
Nehemiah Elder, Fiji’s breakout weightlifting star, steps into the Read & React spotlight after casually collecting gold medals and 9 records at the 2025 Pacific Mini Games.

We asked him what goes through his head before lifting 175kg, how it feels to be the youngest in the field, and what he ate after the competition.

💬 Humble, hilarious, and seriously strong, Nehemiah reminds us that legends can start young, but they always stay real.

Severals medals later… and she’s still got energy to spare! 😄🏊‍♀️

��Déotille Videau, the breakout star of the 2025 Pacific Mini Games, slid into the Read & React seat with a whole lot of personality.�

We asked about her model athlete, and of course… what does someone eat before winning 16 medals? 🥐👀 �Her answers? Just as fast as her finishes.�

💬 Bold, bubbly, and totally unstoppable, Déotille’s not just swimming laps, she’s swimming into Pacific sports history.�

Fresh & Full of energy. 😎🏐

�Raitiavatea Herman, Cook Islands volleyball, brings not only skills but stories to the Read & React hot seat, and trust us, he’s got some good ones.�

Raiti’s cool-headed charm reminds us that youth means jokes, plays, and big impact.�

💬 Chill, sharp, and still spiking strong, Raiti proves never leaves the court quietly.

Silver medallist, long-distance queen, and lowkey very competitive. 😏

��Natalia Prado might run for miles, but she doesn’t run out of things to say in the Read & React hot seat! 🏃‍♀️

💬 Calm, clever, and quietly fierce, Natalia’s just getting started.�

Read & React Interview | Patricia Verebasaga 🇫🇯

Cool in the pool, fun on the mic. 😄🏊‍♀️�
Patricia Verebasaga might be all business in the breaststroke, but in the Read & React seat, she’s giving us joy, wit, and just a little splash of sass.�

From what goes through her mind before the buzzer to how she celebrates post-race, Patricia’s energy is just as refreshing as her swim pace.�

💬 Genuine, grounded, and a total vibe, this is Patricia, in and out of the water.
