Tonga's sole representative at the Winter Olympics is not feeling any added pressure to perform in Pyeongchang.
Pita Taufatofua will compete in the men's 15 km freestyle in cross-country skiing on Friday, little over a year after putting on a pair of skis for the first time.
The 34-year-old, who represented Tonga in taekwondo at the 2016 Summer Olympics, told Vinnie Wylie it has taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice to make it to South Korea.
