News Desk: S4E4 - USA Wins Gold in Rugby Sevens

This week’s news includes a round up of World Cup skiing, top stories in international football, tennis from the Australian Open, plus netball, motor racing and the Beijing Olympic Games. We begin though with rugby since the USA Women's Sevens won gold in Malaga. Our own Leo's Den podcasters Naya Tapper Oly and Ilona Maher celebrate standout performances: Naya becomes the top try scorer in US rugby and Lo won the Player of the Final Award. Finishing their last tournament in Dubai in seventh place, the USA women are showing constant evolution on the world stage, now ranked fourth overall with two events to go. Undefeated in every game contested, defeating rivals Canada, Poland, Great Britain, France and Russia for their first gold medal since the Glendale Sevens in 2019. This was the third tournament in the 2021-22 HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series. Next stop Seville for the next tournament this coming weekend.
