💐 Happy Retirement, Lyndall Fisher!

The Fiji Taekwondo Association extends its sincere appreciation to Ms. Lyndall Fisher for her valued support and contribution to FTA over the years.

In the past two years alone, Lyndall played an instrumental role in helping Lolohea Naitasi and Venice Traill secure scholarships. She also assisted our athletes in attending World Taekwondo and Olympic Solidarity camps, creating valuable opportunities for their growth and development.

Her kindness, guidance and continued support have made a meaningful difference to our athletes and association. Lyndall has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and we are truly grateful for everything she has done for Fiji Taekwondo.

After 33 years of dedicated service to Fiji’s sporting community, we wish Lyndall every happiness as she begins this well-deserved new chapter.

Vinaka vakalevu, Lyndall. Happy retirement from everyone at the Fiji Taekwondo Association! 🥋🇫🇯

SEVEN DECADES OF SISTERHOOD MEETS ONE VERY SPECIAL “TRAILLBLAZER”! 🔥🥋 💙

This week as St. Joseph's Secondary School Alumnae celebrate 7 decades of sisterhood and leadership, we are elated to celebrate one of our own: proud SJSS alumna Venice “Traillblazer” Traill, Class of 2016!

And with a name like Traill, was she ever going to do anything other than blaze? 🔥

🌟 HER ACHIEVEMENTS:

🏟️ - the first Fijian taekwondo athlete to qualify for the Olympic Games on merit.
🥋World Taekwondo Level 1 Coach - first ever Fijian female certified coach.

AND NOW.....

🌍 First-ever representative from Fiji Taekwondo—and only the ninth Fijian coach overall—to be selected for the prestigious International Coaching Enrichment Certificate Program.

She joins coaches previously selected from volleyball, weightlifting, athletics, basketball, swimming, rugby and archery.

Since April, Venice has undertaken over 60 hours of virtual learning in coaching, athlete development, sport science, psychology, nutrition and wellbeing—passing every assessment with flying colours! 🌟

🤹‍♀️ AND SHE DID ALL THIS WHILE:

🎓 Completing her university degree
💼 Working full-time
🥋 Coaching at Civic Taekwondo Academy
🇫🇯 Serving as Assistant Coach of the Fiji National Taekwondo Team

🦸‍♀️ What a superwoman! 🌟

✈️🇺🇸 Next week, Venice heads to the University of Delaware for three weeks of intensive in-person learning and a high-performance Taekwondo apprenticeship.

We cannot wait to find out where her apprenticeship will take her—fingers crossed it is with the USA Taekwondo Team! 🤞🥋🇺🇸

After returning, Venice will develop her athlete-centered high-performance pathway for Fiji before travelling ✈️ to the IOC Headquarters in Switzerland 🇨🇭 in 2027 to present her project. 🎤

From 🏫 SJSS girl ➡️ 🏟️ Olympian.
From 🥋 athlete ➡️ 👩‍🏫 coach.
From 🏅 making history ➡️ 🇫🇯 building Fiji’s
future.

🙏 Vinaka vakalevu to Fiji Association of Sport & National Olympic Committee, Olympic Solidarity, US Olympic & Paralympic Committee, World Taekwondo, the University of Delaware and to Venice’s family, coaches, and the wider Fiji Taekwondo family for supporting her journey and making this opportunity possible!

Go well, Traillblazer! Fiji is proud of you! 🇫🇯🔥
