FIJI WINS GOLD!

Today in Hurumanu 2 we did some activities about the Olympics. We did some research and wrote about Fiji winning a gold medal at the Olympics in the Rugby sevens.


Olympic Gold was won by the Fiji Rugby Sevens team on 27-12 last evening (NZ time).


The game was against New Zealand who ended up winning Silver Medals.

Fiji’s captain is Jerry Tuawai. He said this win was very special because they had to go into lockdown after Easter. They have not seen their children since.


They spent most of that time shut up in a hostel in Suva, training in a gym they built in a garage. When they were on their way to Japan the Fijian team got stuck on a cargo flight, along with some crates full of fish and these sort of experiences helped them form a very tight group of people which makes for a great big celebration after their superb teamwork.


Here are some images of the winners.
