Australia’s women’s rugby sevens team takes long way to Commonwealth Games gold

It might have been 6am on the Gold Coast, but the champagne was already popping at the Levi household.

“It’s never too early to start drinking when your two daughters win Commonwealth Games gold,” Maddi Levi said, after she and sister Teagan helped Australia’s women win the rugby sevens gold medal.

“I’m sure [mum will] be on it all day, celebrating.”

The Levis spoke with their family back home after the dominant 22-12 victory over Fiji at Coventry Stadium.

“They definitely had tears but lots of swearing!” Levi said.

“We got to stand next to each other [on the dais] so it’s pretty sentimental. We’ve achieved a Commonwealth Games medal, not many people can do that in their lives, let alone have their sister side by side.”
