1 . Louis Blues absence from top spot in the TSN. RIO DE JANEIRO -- With
the deftest of kicks, Spains Patricia Garcia etched her name in history as the
player who officially signalled rugbys return to the Olympic Games after a
92-year hiatus. Rugby has arrived at the Olympics, but the womens sport cannot
afford to miss this opportunity to grow the game worldwide.On Friday, Bill
Beaumont, chairman of World Rugby, labelled sevens introduction into the
Olympics as a game-changer. Brazil had a lot to live up to.The opening day at
the Deodoro Stadium did its best to play up to sevens reputation as a sport
anchored on entertainment both on and off the field. Songs in the charts and
those tunes more arrowed on a mass drink-swaying sing-along boomed out of the PA
system even before spectators were allowed into the stands. Once theyd traipsed
in, with the stadium two-thirds full, a camera panned around the stadium
spotting fans dancing to the various beats, all attempting to wear as little
clothing as possible under the beating sun.Athletes before and after they played
were either soaking up the rays in the stands or walking around the grounds
confines, talking on phones to friends and family back home or catching up with
players from other nations.And all the time a crocodile -- now unofficially
named ruckadile -- swam along the Rio Pavuna.It was welcoming, unique, friendly
and fun -- the perfect cocktail for attracting new followers and players of the
sport but now comes the challenge to grasp this opportunity and use it to
inspire future generations.Brazil already have the perfect athlete to inspire a
new following: the brilliant, diminutive, electric Edna Santini. Standing at
just 1.50m, she slips under flailing arms and has the pace to exploit any
wayward positioning. Its the type of raw ability that causes folk to
involuntarily leap from their seats in expectation. She has the star quality to
become a continent-wide face for the sport but below this squad in the Olympics,
the signs are optimistic.The legacy planning in this part of the world seems
sound. Dotted around the stadium were various rugby-focused charity projects;
one was Instituto Rugby Para Todos whose mission is to promote the education of
children through the principles of rugby. Inspire the young, eager-eyed children
and you have a foundation.And then there is World Rugbys IMPACT Beyond Rio
programme, which was instigated in March 2015 reaching 175,000 players, coaches
and young match officials.But thats just Brazil. World Rugbys vice-chairman,
Argentina-born Agustin Pichot, wants to see the ripple effect of rugby in the
Games carry to the other Latin America countries with Colombias qualification
for the womens tournament a key catalyst in growing the game there while
Argentina are already established as one of rugbys power-houses.ddddddddddddBut
this talk of legacy is not just of Latin American importance. The USA has huge
room to grow and they have the infrastructure and playing pool to become one of
the worlds top sides in both mens and womens rugby but they need to start
producing the goods on the field to get wider exposure. And then at the other
end of the scale in terms of financial resources are Fiji.While the mens Fiji
side are favourites to win the tournament, the women are less fancied but theirs
is an inspirational story that needs to be told.In a country that has never won
an Olympic medal, Fiji are daring to dream of their prospects here in Rio and if
Fijis women end up medalling then it will be one of the most remarkable stories
to emanate from the sport in recent times.The brilliant Litia Naiqato used to
baffle her coaches. She was their fittest player but was tailing off in training
sessions; only after looking into her circumstances did Chris Cracknell, Fiji
womens head coach, find that she was running five miles to catch the bus in the
morning to training and then five miles back in the evening. She was exhausted.
Then Cyclone Winston struck in February and her village was obliterated. Yet
here she is in Rio playing in a team that has three players under 18, five who
have played the sport less than a year and Raijieli Daveau who played netball
for Fiji with the Olympics her first ever rugby tournament.They dont use GPS
equipment, instead they utilise the natural facilities available in Fiji such as
their Sigatoka sand dunes. Regardless of whether they medal, they are here,
beating the USA because of natural ability, good coaching and a love for the
sport.On such tales, future generations can be inspired.Beaumont wants clubs
worldwide to be inundated with new players after the Games, looking to play both
15s and sevens. Furthermore, he hopes those clubs who play the traditional 15s
will look to sevens and see an opportunity to offer an easier pathway into the
sport.The womens game has the potential to take rugby away from the traditional
powerhouses and develop a sport with worldwide appeal. Get this opportunity
right, grasp the legacy and having the sport in the Olympics will prove to be
that game-changer for the womens rugby.
