Tiny island nation rejoices after rugby heroes clobber Britain to win inaugural championship
Osea Kolinisau didn't want merely to win Fiji's first Olympic gold medal - he was determined to do it by showing the world how rugby sevens should be played.
With his prime minister among the Fijians in the crowd, and knowing 900,000 other residents of the Pacific island nation expected nothing less than gold, Kolinisau kicked off a first-half barrage against Britain in the championship match by reaching back over his head to make a scoring catch as he was being tackled.
