Mission to seek out PNG sports stars of the fuure!

In such a far flung country with a large and fast growing population, it's long been suspected that Papua New Guinea is highly likely to have pockets of hidden sporting talent.
Now sports science researcher, Kieran Sciberras, from James Cook University in Cairns, is planning a two year mission to establish just how great PNG's talent pool might be, by conducting a series of tests on athletes and would-be athletes all over the nation.
Ultimately Kieran is hoping the results of his research will enhance Papua New Guinea's long-term sporting future, and help them achieve their ambition of being one of the top 10 sporting nations in the Commonwealth.
