Vaea Fifita To Fight Through Personal Tragedy

Fifita's younger half-brother, Alfred "AJ" Mapa, died after failing to resurface after he jumped from a bridge into the Provo River in Utah. Emergency services found his body found three hours later. This reminds me of the death of Frans' younger brother, Willem Steyn, on the eve of the 2015 WC. Thoughts and prayers for all concerned. Such a young kid too, 21 years old. 

Always sad and shocking to hear news like this.
