      Britain skipper Tom Mi

      Fiji claimed their first ever Olympic medal in impressive fashion as they cruised to victory over Great Britain in the mens rugby sevens final. Zach Line Jersey .?Fiji, coached by former England Sevens supremo Ben Ryan, were in rampant form as they coasted home 43-7 to be crowned inaugural Olympic mens champions in the event.Britain barely got a look-in, such was seven-try Fijis dominance, but they will return home as runners-up after a competition that also included sevens powerhouses such as New Zealand, South Africa and Australia.Britain skipper Tom Mitchell kicked off the first rugby sevens final in Olympic history, but it was Fiji who were rapidly into their stride as their captain Osea Kolinisau pounced for an opening try after appearing on an unmarked overlap.There was no immediate prospect of things improving for Britain. Unable to get their hands on possession, a second try soon followed for the South Sea Islanders as Jerry Tuwai crossed.Britains normally watertight defence leaked holes everywhere, and Fiji almost added a third try in five minutes, but Leone Nakarawa was hauled down just short of the line.Britain badly needed a score before the break, yet they were pinned inside their own half and Fiji picked them off with another try, this time from Jesa Veremalua.All the Fiji players wanted a part to play, and it was pretty much game over when Nakarawa pounced for try number four a minute before half-time.It was very much damage-limitation for Britain, yet they were breached once more as Valerno Ravouvou sprinted clear, and with two conversions also being kicked, Fiji changed ends 29 points ahead.Josua Tuisova added another try shortly after half-time, and although Dan Norton claimed a consolation score for Britain, Fiji inevitably had the final word when Viliame Mata crossed the whitewash.The bronze medal match, meanwhile, was won by South Africa, who demolished Japan -- shock opening day conquerors of New Zealand -- 54-14. Rickey Jackson Jersey . The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles. Andy Livingston Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year. http://www.customsaintsjersey.com/custom-aaron-brooks-jersey-large-102e.html . But Bourque, who has missed three games with a lower-body injury, wont be in the lineup when the Habs travel to Buffalo to take on the Sabres on Wednesday. SAN ANTONIO -- Lynetta Kizer scored nine of her 15 points in the fourth quarter, Briann January hit two free throws with 2.2 seconds left and the Indiana Fever beat the San Antonio Stars 71-69 on Tuesday night.Monique Currie made a baseline jumper for San Antonio with 1:07 left to tie it at 69-all and she drew a charge on January at the other end. The Stars were whistled for a shot-clock violation on their next possession and Indiana called timeout with 17.8 seconds left.After Januarys free throws, San Antonio advanced it to half court with a timeout but Shenise Johnson poked away the inbound pass. Renaldo Turnbull Jersey. .January, Marissa Coleman and Johnson each scored 12 points for Indiana (14-15), which is ranked No. 7 in the AP power poll. Tamika Catchings, who averages 13.5 points per game, had one point and eight rebounds in 21 minutes.Moriah Jefferson scored 17 points and Astou Ndour added 15 points with eight rebounds for 12th-ranked San Antonio (6-23).
