Cook Islands veteran lawn bowler honored to lead country as Commonwealth Games flag bearer
Cook Islands veteran lawn bowler Teokotai Jim says it was an honour to lead her country out at the 2026 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony.
Glasgow marks the 60-year-old's fifth appearance at the Games, the most of any athlete in the Cook Islands.
Jim is competing with her daughter Emily in the lawn bowls, which started a few hours early before the opening ceremony on Thursday.
“My family has always been the purpose of my journey in lawn bowls, and to be here to compete with my daughter is a great privilege," she said.
Teokotai started her journey in 1998, when she had to gather those who had an interest in the sport before putting a team together.
