Historic bronze medal win for the inspiring Fijiana 7s team at the Olympics

The Fijiana 7s team has made a remarkable and inspiring achievement tonight to create history and win bronze in the Olympic Games.

The national side defeated Great Britain 21-12 at Tokyo Stadium to win their first ever medal at an Olympic Games.

They follow in the foot steps of the Fiji men's 7s team which has won two gold medals - the first in Rio in 2016 and the second in Tokyo this week.

This is the best performance so far by Team Fiji at an Olympics with 1 gold and 1 bronze.

Fiji was again relentless in attack tonight.

It started from the kick off.

Alowesi Nakoci crossed over twice and the win was sealed by Reapi Uluinasau.

They were fast and strong and were always there to support players when they broke through the defensive line.

They defeated 2016 bronze medallists Canada in their second pool match and knocked out 2016 Rio gold medalists Australia in the quarterfinals last night.
