Ken Kahu

Vanuatu’s Ken Kahu qualifies for Tokyo Paralympics

The javelin thrower has continued to standout after being rated to be in the World Top 10 standing in March, this year.

The rating followed Kahu’s 57m throw.

Kahu was the flag Bearer for Team Vanuatu in the last Pacific Games and multi medal winner.

He has set his eyes firmly on throwing over 60 metres and a podium finish in the Paralympic Games in Tokyo in September.

Minister of Youth and Sports Francois Chani says Kahu has shown a lot of potential and deserves the selection.

“I selected Ken Kahu to become our Youths Ambassador and promised to give him a job. This is a star, a javelin champion who will carry our flag and be seen when he performs, by millions of people and this is a literal promotion of Vanuatu to the world.

“I removed a political appointee from his job and gave his position to Ken to allow him to earn a salary because he deserves to be paid”.
