THE chance to eat sushi in Japan has 17-year-old sailor Sophia Morgan all excited as she prepares for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (the Olympics will be held from July 23- August 8) in Japan.
Sophia, who is studying and training in Auckland, New Zealand, said she was honoured to be a part of Team Fiji in what would be her first Olympic Games.
“When I was told that I would be representing Fiji I was surprised but I also see it as an honour to represent the country and to do it on the world stage is exciting,” she said.
