General Interest

General
LONE COMPETITOR
He was the only athlete to represent Nauru at the 2018 Micronesian Games in Yap, Federated States of Micronesia, after the rest of the team had to pull out due to financial reasons. Harris had been at a competition in Finland, but he travelled to the Games as his flight had been already booked, and he went on to win five medals. "The Micro [Micronesian] Games are our Olympics. I definitely felt extra pressure because, I'm the only one. I got that pressure and put it out on the field and it helped me perform. Hopefully, I did what everyone expected of me."
