Katoatau’s dances became a trademark of his victory in the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland two years ago. That was the first gold medal in any global sporting event for his island nation of Kiribati. He was also a social media sensation for his dancing as Kiribati’s flag bearer at the Rio Games’ opening ceremony. “Most people don’t know where Kiribati is,” Katoatau told Reuters. I don’t know how many years it will be before it sinks.”That letter was distributed at a Commonwealth Games Federation meeting by Katoatau’s coach, Paul Coffa.
