Rugby Sevens’ big day is approaching in the run-up to the IOC vote in Copenhagen on Friday 9 October, when it will be decided whether Sevens is to be admitted to the 2016 Olympic Games.
As part of its final push, the IRB is urging the global rugby family to get behind the campaign and register its support in a poll running on the online Olympic publication insidethegames.biz.
Let’s all pull together as part of the global Rugby family and make sure we continue to top the polls! Scroll down the page to find the poll on the right hand side. Get Voting!
Leading figures from the International Rugby Board are in Copenhagen to present to the IOC ahead of the vote along with members of their bid team, including former Argentina 15s and Sevens captain Agustin Pichot, Kenya Sevens captain Humphrey Kayange, Sevens World Cup-winning Wallaroo Cheryl Soon, Kazakhstan Sevens star Anastassiya Khamova and one of the true modern legends of the game, Jonah Lomu.
If successful, Sevens will make its Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro, following the Brazilian city being awarded the 2016 Games on Friday.
"I don't think people realise yet how big this could be for rugby," said IRB Chief Executive, Mike Miller.
"The Olympic Games is the biggest stage in the world for sport it would be massive for the game.
"This could be a huge decision for rugby."
