Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama says the best from the Fijiana 7s team is yet to come.

He says we have witnessed a legacy in the making from our Fijiana in Tokyo.

The Prime Minister says ahead of the Rio Olympics, there were 200 registered women rugby players in Fiji.

Bainimarama adds now, there are more than 1000.

He says with the eyes of the young women of Fiji upon these heroes –– no doubt we'll soon see many thousands more.

The Fijiana 7s team made a remarkable and inspiring achievement last night to create history and win bronze in the Olympic Games.

The national side defeated Great Britain 21-12 at Tokyo Stadium to win their first-ever medal at an Olympic Games.

This is the best performance so far by Team Fiji at an Olympics with 1 gold and 1 bronze.

The Fijiana 7s team had finished in 8th place at the 2016 Rio Olympics.
