Nike Australia and the Jedok sports centre in Honiara have came to the rescue of local athletic sprinters to the upcoming Beijing Olympic Games by donating footwear for the sprinters competiting in the games.


Athletics Solomon has named Francis Manioru and Pauline (pictured above) to represent the country in the Olympics which will be held from the 8th to 24th of August 2008 in China. The duo will be travelling alongside Wendy Hale and Michael Leong to the games.

It is understood the donated sports shoes were made possible through negotiation by Coach and the PPF Advisor Mr Ian Guyett from who negotiated with Nike Australia.
