As a movie lover with a deep appreciation for sports history, I can’t help but feel a pang of nostalgia and excitement as I look at this image of the rugby sevens tournament at the Olympics. The passion and determination etched on the faces of the players mirror the intensity and drama of my favorite sports movies.
For over a century, Britain has been unable to secure a medal in this particular event, even though it was the first to develop the sport in the 1870s. In our most recent appearance, at the 2012 Games, both our men’s and women’s teams suffered defeats in every match. Central European nations have dominated this contact sport, with male champions hailing from there for each edition of the Olympics since the turn of the century. The reigning back-to-back gold medalists, Serbia, are once again contenders, but their team seems less experienced compared to previous years. Hungary and Greece, who narrowly lost to Serbia in the 2023 World Championships, also hold strong aspirations. However, for those who appreciate a sentimental underdog, Spain’s Felipe Perrone, who is retiring after an impressive career, could be the team to watch.
