By Mayu SakodaTOKYO (Reuters) – Fiji's women had hoped to emulate their male counterparts and win gold in the Olympic Rugby Sevens competition, but coach Saiasi Fuli says they should be proud with a bronze medal that is a testament to their mental strength in adversity.Fiji narrowly lost to favourites and eventual champions New Zealand in extra-time of an epic semi-final, but went on to beat Britain 21-12 to finish third, despite some of their players being new to the sport.Their journey is not over yet as, after 16 weeks away from their families in bio-secure bubbles due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they must still quarantine for another two when they get home.
