Fijian rugby players KNEEL Respectfully and clap three times for Princess Anne as she presents them with their nation's first gold medal after thrashing Britain
Fiji's rugby players have shown Britain's Princess Anne the deepest respect, during their award ceremony after they walked away with the nation's first ever Olympic medal. On Friday, the rugby seven team sang in celebration after claiming victory, over Britain 43-7 - their first Olympic rugby win in 92 years. After awarding Britain with their silver medals, Princess Anne stepped over to place gold around the 12 Fijians' necks. As she did, each player knelt down on the podium and clapped three times out of respect for the royal.Some of the players clasped their hands together and took in the moment, while other shared a few words with Princess Anne before she moved on.

The British team remained standing for the ceremony and shook hands, with Princess Anne as she gifted them their silver. Fiji captain Osea Kolinisau led the defending Sevens World Series champions, as they ruthless won the first Olympic rugby competition in 92 years. He got the first of five first-half tries, two converted, for a 29-0 lead that a leaden-footed Britain never looked like matching. 'I'm a little bit lost for words. The boys were on another scale of phenomenal,' Fiji's English coach Ben Ryan said. 'They were just stratospheric and they saved the best until last. 'They played some high-risk rugby there and they were outstanding and, hopefully, we showcased Fijian rugby and everybody who was watching, maybe even the British supporters, can have a smile.'It's always been our plan for three years, get them back to number one, win world titles and then claim this first gold medal.
