GRR: Olympics
The USA Men’s 7s team going to Paris is, not surprisingly, a blend of old and new.
USA Rugby announced today the 2024 U.S. Olympic Men’s Rugby Sevens Team as they prepare to compete at the Olympic Summer Games Paris 2024.
Captain Kevon Williams leads the team as they pursue the USA Men’s Rugby Sevens’ first Olympic medal, 100 years after the USA last won Olympic gold in rugby. The USA finished 9th at Rio 2016 and 6th Tokyo 2020.
As July approaches the Paris Olympics approach, too.
The USA women’s team is going through a period of preparation that will include training with Canada and hopefully some more. in Chula Vista and then Tours before they enter the Olympic Village.
After that, it’s about focusing on themselves, and focusing on gold.
World Rugby's repechage tournaments finished off in Monaco on Sunday with China winning the women's competition and South Africa winning the men's competition.
The word that first passed Naya Tapper’s lips, and then Emilie Bydwell’s, was a color … a very specific color.
Gold.
