Seiuli Paul Wallwork OM (15 January 1942 – 14 March 2024) was a Samoan weightlifter, civil servant, and sports administrator.
[2] He broke his neck while playing rugby in New Zealand as a youth,[3] and began weightlifting to strengthen his leg and arm muscles after the injury left him with paralysis.
[3] He was offered a place on the Australian team for the 1972 Summer Olympics but declined as he did not want to renounce his Samoan citizenship.
[9][10] Wallwork later worked as permanent secretary for the Ministry of Youth, Sports and Cultural Affairs[1] and headed the organising committee for the 1983 South Pacific Games.
[12] In 1999 he was expelled from the IOC during the 2002 Winter Olympic bid scandal as his wife had received a $30,000 loan from a Salt Lake City official and his family had received more than $67,000 in travel benefits from Salt Lake City.
