Help Nikolas get to the Commonwealth Games (eventually)

Over the past two years, I have been making steady progress in my athletic career, and I am currently ranked #1 in the country for under 18 men’s Hammer, Discus and Shotput. I am also ranked #1 in Oceania for both Shotput and Discus, and I am ranked #5 in the world for discus and #8 in the world for shotput.

I am now having my progress recognised and in November last year (2018), I was selected to represent New Zealand at the Oceania Regional Athletics Championship event in Tahiti, where I placed first in all three events, set a new Oceania record for u18 men's shot put, and I was also named “Male Athlete of the Competition”, which was amazing.

I have now been selected to represent New Zealand again, this time at the 2019 Oceania Area Championship event in Townsville, Australia (25 - 28 June 2019).

I want to one day represent New Zealand at the Commonwealth Games in both Discus and Shotput, and attending these regional competitions is a great way for me to gain international experience, and it will also help me to become a better overall athlete.

How neat would it be if you saw me competing at the Commonwealth Games in a few years, and you were able to say that you helped get me there!
