The United States is 2-0 in Women's Sevens after beating China and Japan in Pool C play. So far, so good.

Great Britain Women had a 21-0 lead over New Zealand, but they couldn't hold it and lost 26-21.

It reminds me of the USA vs GB Men's match where the USA had a 21-0 lead and lost 26-21.

USA Women's Sevens just beat Australia and complete Pool C play with a 3-0 record. So they advance to the next round. Good job ladies!

And now on BBC1 - but about 5 minutes ago.

What a cracking match that was!
Though I can't believe Fiji kept 7 on from the 4 minute mark of 2nd half

USA need a complete rethink in this 2nd half.

I have a bit of sympathy with them because they're hamstrung by their broadcasting contract

Obv it would be better for them to have one sport on and leave it to completion, but I can understand why they'd try and show as much of the ones that would have the largest numbers of viewers

Well that was an awkward interview "We're known for being a bit soft, but we've risen up, and we're hard now, not soft any more; even though we're probably smaller than any of the other nations"

This has to be one of the best post match rugby interviews I've seen

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

The Olympics interviews are class. Great to see some characters without media training or being numbed after about 30 interviews a season.
