How plastic bottles started Fiji's Olympic success
Fijian rugby legend Waisale Serevi says the rugby 7's Olympic gold will give the whole nation a lift as they still struggle to recover from cyclone Winston.
The pacific nation claimed the gold medal after defeating Great Britain 43-7 in the rugby sevens final at Deodoro Stadium. It's not only their first gold, but first Olympic medal.
Serevi, who's won two World Cups with Fiji, told Sport Today's Matthew Kenyon - "The cyclone took away lives, houses, schools, a lot of people are still struggling, they are in tents, but for Fiji to win this gold medal is a huge achievement".
