Maureen Tuimalealiifano (born 17 October 1970 in Saleimoa, Samoa) is a Samoan archer. She competed in the individual event at the 2012 Summer Olympics and was eliminated in the Round of 64 after she lost 0-6 to South Korea's Lee Sung-jin. Starting the sport 8 months before the Olympics while she was manager at the Samoan Bank, she made rapid progress with the help (for 1 month) of a Chinese coach. Tuimalealiifano, mother-of-two, is looking forward to getting sponsorship and competing at Rio 2016.
