Rugby Sevens - Olympic Schedule & Results | Tokyo 2020

Fiji men looking strong for a repeat of their Gold medal at the previous Olympics, Semi Radradra by far the biggest name in this tournament from the 15s game.

In the women's it will probably be between New Zealand and Australia for the Gold, however Canada will have a good chance at a medal, GB may be strong but more resources have been put into the 15s women's game in recent years by the English RFU at least, similar with France.

Each half is 10 minutes

No not really, I'm not sure what was expected this year but they beat them at the previous Olympics as well

GB stormed back to win 26-21.

 

[Siamese Dream]

USA up 21-nil on the GB.

This post aged well

Thought that decision definitely went the wrong way with 29 seconds left though, GB player definitely wasn't supporting his body weight over the ball

[Albatros]

Was a nice final day, Fiji nowhere near as dominant as five years ago yet their unbeaten run continues and deservedly so.

Really disappointed Australia's Charlotte Caslick doesn't have her iconic braids with the yellow ribbons to match the jerseys this year

 

[Siamese Dream]

Knockout rounds starting soon.

I've been really impressed with New Zealand speedster Michaela Blyde, she's not hard to look at either
