A well-deserved Olympic Gold Medal for Covid-ravaged Fiji.
Fiji has proven too good for New Zealand in the Olympic final in Tokyo last night, winning 27-12.
Captain Jerry Tuwai says while the gold medal can't make up for a single life lost to the pandemic, it's a particularly special time to win.
Former Sevens coach Sir Gordon Tietjens says told Mike Hosking  no one could have deserved the medal more.
“Time and time again, they’ve got more depth than any other country in the world. They love the game of Sevens, they’re so passionate and they’re always very difficult to beat.”
Almost 200 people have died in Fiji's current outbreak of Covid-19.
