France ends Fiji’s dominance, bags gold in Olympic rugby sevens - Business Mirror

Quick Summary:

SAINT-DENIS, France — In a seven-minute clinic that’ll long define his legacy, Antoine Dupont scored two tries and created another to deliver a coveted gold medal for France and end two-time champion Fiji’s Olympic dominance in rugby sevens.

Rugby sevens usually takes a backseat to 15s among the sport’s elite — until it comes to the Olympics, when the almost non-stop attacking nature of the game and the booming music lend a party vibe to the tournaments.

France’s win captured the attention of the host nation, where rugby has long been a source of pride but also some hurt — the French have never won the Rugby World Cup in the 15-a-side format, the pinnacle event in the sport.
