Glasgow - Sevens world series leaders South Africa and Fiji were the first to qualify for rugby's return to the Olympics next year when they reached the Glasgow Sevens quarterfinals on Saturday.
Fiji was rapt with the achievement. The sevens team is Fiji's most successful in world sports, and will be under pressure to earn for the South Pacific nation its first medal at any Olympics, summer or winter.
"It feels a little bit emotional," Fiji coach Ben Ryan said. "We've put in so much work to get to this stage, and I know everyone on the island will be delighted with this. It's really a fantastic day for Fiji."
