[QUOTE="cyRil, post: 427029, member: 35759"] Evening all. In October 2009 the IOC decided to re-introduce Rugby Sevens back into the Olympics at the Summer games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, and I am currently in the process of writing an article on some of the implications and possible outcomes of this decision. I was just wondering what people's general thoughts on this topic were. What kind of impact will it have on the game of Sevens and the broader sport of rugby in general. Will we see other 'smaller' nations emerge to an impressive standard in the next few years, as Kenya have recently. What kind of financial and commercial benefits will the game receive? Will the profile of the sport be promoted even further in places like the USA, Russia and China - historical heavyweights in Olympic stakes - in order to compete and add another gold medal to their overall tally? You don't have to answer all these questions! But I'd like to know different people's opinions and perceptions on this particular topic, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Chaaaaaarss! :) [/QUOTE]
