The island of Niue competed at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and participated in the lawn bowls competition. One of those who stepped up to represent his nation was none other than their leader, Dalton Tagelagi.
The head of government, known as the 'Premier' of the South Pacific island, competed at his third Commonwealth Games this week. The 54-year-old was part of Niue's four-man and two-man teams, but he failed to win a single match.
The small nation finished bottom of their section in both disciplines of the sport - finishing with a -31 and -58 points difference. Tagelagi has led the island since 2020 but even his new role did not prevent him from travelling to Birmingham to play for his nation.
