Now, after her victory over Keshani Hansika (SRI) in the Women's 57kg quarterfinal earlier on Wednesday, she's only gone and become the first woman from her nation to secure a Boxing medal in the Commonwealth Games, too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She attributes her success to her culture and the spiritual belief in 'Mana', shared across Melanesian and Polynesian communities.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I believe there's two sides of us,\" Daunakamakama said. \"There's an internal war inside all of us where we're constantly fighting between the ego and our true self, which is the spirit, and so, the mana is the will to overcome the fears because the fears are what's not real.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
She'll be hoping to channel this in her next bout, against defending champion Michaela Walsh (NIR) on Thursday. Even if Daunakamakama loses, bronze is guaranteed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cWe have families back home who are praying on their knees. We\u2019ve had a lot of encouraging messages \u2013 they believe in us, and they know we could do this against experienced, great players. The energy back home is all the way up there.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

It's a first Scotland medal on a basketball court for the Men at the 3x3. On home soil, they beat New Zealand 18-16 to bag a brilliant bronze. Four years after a devastating fourth place at Birmingham 2022, Fraser Malcolm has returned here to secure the medal he so craved.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
America-born Scotland star Skyler White on Wednesday helped the Men's team to a first-ever Commonwealth medal in 3x3 Basketball.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
White shares a name with an infamous Breaking Bad main character, but he promises he's much nicer. \u201cI get that a lot, but it's just purely coincidental,\" Skyler said. \"If you look up my name on Twitter, I get a lot of hate because I don't think people like her very much, but I promise I'm not like her!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
