More gold medals one year away: Seychelles gears up for Indian Ocean Games in Mauritius

At this time next year, Seychelles will be joining the other islands in the region for the 10th edition of the Indian Ocean Island Games in Mauritius. Athletes from the island nation have been preparing for the games since the last one in 2015. Seychelles gathered a total of 96 medals including 25 gold, 40 silver and 31 bronze.

The results, however, were below what was anticipated based on the previous games’ results in 2011, when the island nation won 123 medals – including an unbeaten 57 gold medals, as it hosted the games for the second time.
