Geua Vada Tau

Precision Sports

Geua Vada Tau is a lawn bowler from Papua New Guinea, born on 3 May 1957, who bowls for the Boroko Club in Port Moresby. She came to prominence at the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, where she won the gold medal in the singles without losing a game. That victory made her the first Commonwealth Games gold medallist from Papua New Guinea and a national heroine. The English Wikipedia article gives her name in the lead as Geau Vada-Tau and is very short, so this entry does not go beyond her birth date, her club and the 1990 singles title.
