Athlete reveals she threw coconuts to practice discus throw
Tereapii Tapoki, a 33-year-old discus thrower and shot putter from Cook Islands who will be participating in the Commonwealth Games, has revealed she used to throw coconuts to practice due to lack of equipment. "We didn't have a shot or discus...it was quite different...a discus is flat and a coconut is round," added Tapoki, who is also a police officer.
