Toea Wisil

Papua New Guinean sprinter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toea Wisil (1 January 1988) is an athlete from Papua New Guinea who specializes in sprints.[1][2] She was selected as her nation's flag bearer at the 2012 Summer Olympics Parade of Nations.[3] In her race, she impressed American TV announcer Ato Bolden by running an eased up 11.60 into a strong headwind, the number one qualifier from the preliminary round of the 100 m. She was equally impressive in the quarter final, beating the field including Allyson Felix out of the blocks and coming within .05 of qualifying to the semi-final round, finishing ahead of athletes that did not need to run in the preliminary round. During the Pacific Games, she won a triple-triple individual gold, 100 m, 200 m and 400 m, during 3 different editions, 2011, 2015 and 2019.[4]
