SUVA, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of Fijians gathered at their national stadium in the capital of Suva on Monday, a special public holiday announced in
honor of Fijian men's rugby sevens team's gold medal triumph earlier this month
at the Rio Olympic Games in Brazil.
Spearheaded by police and military bands, the rugby heroes, onboard a vehicle, led a float procession from downtown Suva to the stadium, extensively
greeted by cheering crowds that lined up the streets while waving Fiji's
national flags despite showers.
In recognition of their contribution, Fijian President Jioji Konrote, who serves as Fiji's chancellor of the order, awarded each member of the Olympic
champion rugby team an Officer of the Order of Fiji medal, except Ben Ryan, the
team's British coach who got a Companion of the Order of Fiji medal, the highest
category in the Pacific island nation's system of honors.
The Fijian president also announced that the government will award each of the rugby team players 30,000 Fiji dollars (14,700 U.S. dollars) as a gesture of
appreciation on behalf of all Fijians for their "tremendous achievement."
"We have never been more united than we are today - one nation, one people celebrating a milestone in our development as a nation," Konrote said, adding
that the rugby heroes have brought Fijians honor and more global attention than
at any other time in Fiji's history.
"With this Olympic win, our gallant and victorious warriors have transformed Fiji into a global superpower in sevens rugby. We are now world champions and
the team to beat," the Fijian president said.
Thr president's words were echoed by the country's Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama.
"Precisely 60 years after Fiji first went to the Olympic Games in Melbourne (Australia) in pursuit of gold, silver and bronze, we have finally done it. And
it is gold - a shower of gold as the president described it, glittering as
bright as the Pacific sun," Bainimarama said.
"The really exciting thing about this victory in Rio is that we have suddenly been given a huge boost, a much greater international profile. More people
around the world are coming to appreciate the Fijian story. More people are
looking at Fiji as a place to visit, a place to invest," Bainimarama said,
reiterating Fiji's ambition to be a beacon for its Pacific island neighbors.
During the celebrations at the national stadium, a replay of the Fijian rugby team's gold medal winning game was shown on a giant screen, prompting a cheering
spree.
Viliame Ledua, a local resident, said he is proud of the Olympic gold medal and he feels proud to be a Fijian.
"There has never a time that Fiji has won a gold from Olympics and this is one of the times that Fiji won a gold from Olympics. It's a great day and great
moment for Fiji and we are all so excited and we are so happy to be here today,"
Ledua told Xinhua as he watched the replay.
So if there’s one particular point that everyone desires to understand about the upcoming gadgets Femme Nike Air Jordan 1 High Zip TRIPLE Blanche Pas Cher , it’s when we’re going to become able to stroll into the retailers and buy them. Yep, the
release date is simply one of several greatest pats of advertising and marketing
a brand new cellphone, and Apple understands exactly tips on how to make quite
possibly the most of this. Not long ago Homme Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Game Royal Pas Cher , we have been still speculating on when the iPhone 5 was going to become released, and rather
a great deal everybody unanimously agreed that we would see it announced by the
finish in the year, with an early 2012 release date at the latest.
Due to the fact then Homme Nike Air Jordan 1 Retro High Blanche Metallic Or Pas Cher , having said that, issues have changed a bit bit and we’re now functioning using a
slightly diverse situation. As we are positive you currently know, the next
iPhone is just not going to become the iPhone five Homme Air Jordan 10 Cool Grise Pas Cher , but rather the iPhone 4S. Though this mobile phone is undoubtedly quite cool and will be capable of
benefit lots of unique men and women, it does bring the release date on the
iPhone six back into jeopardy. These together with the ability to count the
right way might be capable to inform you that the iPhone 5 will have to create
its debut in advance of we can even get started considering the iPhone six
release date. And together with the introduction of your 4S, this tends to make
carrying out that a little bit difficult.
Nevertheless Femme Nike Air Jordan 14 Fuchsia Blast Blanche Pas Cher , there are some issues that we can do to obtain just a little bit of an edge on when the iPhone
five will come out (information and facts we can use to figure out the 6’s
release date). Historically, you’ll be able to see that an iPhone came out about
after a year, in summer time Homme Air Jordan 13 Retro Wheat Elemental Or Pas Cher , with the exception of this newest addition. Should you add up all the time in amongst
each iPhone’s respective release date, then you would obtain a timespan of all
around 12 months (truly just a little longer). So if Apple is always to remain
in accurate fashion with their iPhone release schedule because they have within
the past, there’s virtually no hope for an iPhone six in 2012. Using the 4S
coming out October 17 Femme Nike Air Jordan 13 Retro Phantom Pas Cher , that usually means the iPhone 5 is statistically supposed to come out late October 2012. When the
likelihood of Apple throwing within the iPhone 6 involving then and Christmas
2012 is surely there, it really is pretty much non-existent.
Iphone 6
So this would lead us to our up coming query which would be if we aren’t finding an iPhone six by Christmas 2012, then when can we expect it by? We are
able to get an estimate by doing the identical thing that we did to guess the
5’s release date. Add the typical timespan in involving iPhone release dates
towards the iPhone five release date and voila! We’ve the iPhone six release
date at late September 2013. This can be of course if every little thing goes
according to plan from here on out Homme Nike Air Jordan 12 Light Aqua Blanche Pas Cher , and doesn’t take into consideration production d.
