Pacific Games Medal tally

New Caledonia lead at halfway point

The French Territory has won 42 gold medals after the first six days of competition and more than 50 silver and bronze, with host nation Samoa the nearest challenger with 26 gold medals while Tahiti have 21.

Another six first place finishes on the final night of swimming action brought New Caledonia's total haul in the pool to 25 gold, 11 silver and 13 bronze medals.

Swimming Team Manager Cyril Huet said it's an even bigger haul than they managed in Port Moresby four years ago.

The host nation doubled their overall haul to 18 in five days, but it's still New Caledonia who continue to lead the way in Apia.

Weightlifters Don Opeloge and Leotina Petelo won three gold medals apiece on home soil, while also making a clean sweep of the Oceania and Commonwealth titles.

Jack Opeloge won gold, silver and bronze in the men's 81kg division, while Lauren Sale won her second gold medal in the pool.
