Fiji has never won Olympic gold, but that could change in Rio with a rugby sevens team that trains on sand dunes and in coral lagoons.
Fiji's old-school training also includes breathalyzers and bans on mobile phones, while its players will spend as little time as possible at Rio's distraction-laden athletes village.
The ragtag squad includes prison wardens, police officers, members of the military and some unemployed who live in Fiji's traditional villages.
