Overcoming record-size tumour; Iakopo dedicates time and passion to growth of badminton in Tuvalu
Tuvalu Badminton Association’s President, Iakopo Molotii, has been leading the development of badminton on his island for several years. However, his journey took a turn in 2017 as he was diagnosed with the largest tumour in the thoracic cavity ever recorded. Since then, he has made a strong recovery and alongside his wife, Asita Molotii, the pair continue to grow the sport in country, with a particular emphasis on gender equity and human rights.
