Samoa govt to review Olympic rewards policy

The weightlifter won Samoa's first Olympic medal at the 2008 Beijing Games, after being upgraded to silver when two competitors were disqualified for drugs.

Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said, last month, the government's policy was to only offer monetary awards for gold medal winners.

Sports Minister Loau Keneti Sio said that policy would now be revisited.
