@stargazer said in 2020 -> 2021 Olympic Sevens (Tokyo):

The NZ Olympic Team also does a haka for the medallists back at the village - saw a couple on their Tiktok.

In 2016, @michaelablyde and @shiray_9 were devastated when they didn’t make the playing side for Rio and spent the Games together, outside of the village, as travelling reserves.

In 2021, they both not only made the team but are now Olympic champions 🥇

A similar story for Hotham and Te Tamaki in Paris awaits.

I did find it strange that only 12 players were awarded medals on the dais but Willison also received a medal and joined the rest of the team after the anthem. If the squad was increased to 13 why not have all of them involved in the medal presentation?
