Michaela Blyde, the captain of New Zealand's Black Ferns Sevens team, recently had an emotional encounter with her idol, Jamaican sprinter Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce, during the lead-up to the Paris Olympics. Blyde, who is a two-time World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year and Olympic gold medalist, expressed her excitement on social media, sharing videos of herself in tears and sprinting barefoot to meet the sprint legend. Their heartfelt meeting, which included a warm hug and a photo, went viral, with Blyde humorously noting her casual attire of a stained shirt and baggy shorts. Fraser-Pryce, an eight-time Olympic medalist, even followed and messaged Blyde on Instagram, further fueling Blyde's excitement. The women’s rugby sevens tournament is set to begin on July 28, where Blyde hopes to lead her team to a second consecutive Olympic gold. The encounter has sparked a wave of positivity on social media, with fans celebrating the wholesome moment between the two athletes.
