Papua New Guinea Olympic Committee and Team PNG – Year in Review

We are half-way through another Olympiad (4 Year Cycle of Games). The excitement and momentum of a packed calendar of games and events commenced in late January with Papua New Guinea receiving and hosting the Queen’s Baton Relay in the mighty East Sepik region. The Queen’s Baton Relay is a precursor event to the Commonwealth Games which sees the baton carrying the Queen’s message passed across all 72 Commonwealth Nations before ending up in the host country and read by the Queen at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games.

We would like to acknowledge the Honorable Governor of East Sepik Allan Bird, his team, and the people of East Sepik for receiving the Queen’s Baton and showcasing one of the many unique cultural environments in Papua New Guinea to the watching global community.
