The 2024 Paris Olympic Sevens will shortly reach its climax, as the greatest in the women’s game prepare to fight it out to be crowned Olympic champions.
Just four teams remain in the main tournament after a blockbuster quarter-final round saw three of the favourites barge through, with one falling in a great Olympic upset at the Stade de France.
New Zealand proved far too strong as they overcame a Chinese side that had sadly stepped just one stage too far. The match finished 55-5 with seven Black Ferns getting their names on the scoresheet.
Great Britain had their exit confirmed by an in-form American side, as the USA continued their impressive display with a 7-17 victory over the combined nations.
Hosts France were left devastated and in visible tears on the field as their quarter-final opponents Canada shocked the Stade de France by knocking out the hosts 14-19 in a closely fought match. Despite trying to unlock the Canadian defence in the dying seconds, the visitors held strong.
Finally, tournament favourites Australia barely broke a sweat as Charlotte Caslick and friends played around as if they were simply down their local park without a care in the world. 40-7 to the girls in gold.
