Waves, ice, and everything nice: a new generation of Pacific stars

Sam Wykes and Fiji sports journalist Taina Basiyalo are in the chair this week, wrapping up the biggest sporting stories from across the Pacific. They recap stand-out performances from the Commonwealth Games, catch up with Fijian sprint star Helenia Young and Vanuatu's Chloe David, and look ahead to the 2026 Oceania Volleyball Championships in Guam.

They also celebrate 15-year-old Papua New Guinean surfer, Luana Matthies, Australian Open Women's Longboard Championship title and Tuvalu's historic first-ever Commonwealth Games medal, won by boxer Tarona Taafaki.

Plus, Sam Wykes has a bonus interview with the NHL's first Polynesian ice hockey player, who shares his remarkable journey from the Pacific to the world's biggest ice hockey league.
