Six athletes (five men and one woman) qualified to represent Tuvalu in three sports.[2] Tuvalu’s team at the games consisted of Karalo Maibuca (men's 100 metres), Ampex Isaac and Saaga Malosa (men’s beach volleyball),[3] Leatialii Afoa (lightweight boxing) and Fiu Tui (middleweight boxing).[4] Temalini Manatoa (women's 100 metres), qualified but did not attend the games.[4]
Due to the lack of facilities and the size of the island being small, athletes trained on the runway of the Funafuti International Airport. The airport is the biggest open space available on the island.[5]
Competitorsedit
The following is the list of number of competitors qualified for the Games per sport/discipline.[4]
As of 26 April 2022, Tuvalu qualified for the men's tournament.[6][7] The intended Oceania qualifier was abandoned, so the quota allocation was determined by their position among other nations from Oceania in the men's FIVB Beach Volleyball World Rankings (for performances between 16 April 2018 and 31 March 2022).[8]
