Fiji have been competing at the Olympics since the Melbourne games of 1956 but have not claimed gold until now.

If at first you don't succeed, keep trying and maybe 60 years later you'll absolutely wipe the floor with your competition. 。Josua Tuisova of Fiji celebrates as his team wins gold.Credit: David Rogers/Getty Images。 相关文章
