Fiji’s 7s Heroes Shine in Silver Glory: A Triumph That Unites the Nation

Peter Mazey, the Interim Chair of the Fiji Rugby Union, praised the Team Fiji men’s 7s squad for their impressive silver medal achievement, underscoring that it symbolizes more than a mere accolade – it is a profound source of national pride.

Addressing the team during their welcome ceremony this morning, Mazey lauded the players for their exceptional performance, which not only reflects their relentless dedication and hard work but also captures the true essence of Fiji’s spirit.

Mazey expressed deep gratitude to the team, acknowledging their remarkable success. He conveyed that their victory is not just a personal triumph but a momentous occasion for the entire nation. “Thank you! You have achieved something extraordinary once again,” Mazey declared.

“Today, we gather not just as fans but as a united family, celebrating your incredible accomplishment that has filled us with immense pride.”

He emphasized that the team had met and exceeded the nation’s lofty expectations, showcasing their exceptional skills and determination. The highlight of the event was the touching moment when the team received their medals on stage, a powerful representation of their hard-fought journey.

Fiji’s 7s team has a storied history of success, with two Olympic gold medals from the Rio and Tokyo Games. This year, their journey culminated in a silver medal after a fiercely contested match against the host nation, France.

The ceremony not only honored their athletic prowess but also celebrated the indomitable spirit of Fiji and the unity it fosters among its people.
