Canada achieved a remarkable upset in women's rugby sevens by defeating Australia 21-12 in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics, securing a spot in the gold medal match against New Zealand. Key players for Canada included Charity Williams, Asia Hogan-Rochester, and Piper Logan, while Olivia Apps converted all three tries. Australia's Maddison Levi and Sariah Paki also scored, but their efforts were not enough to overcome Canada. New Zealand, who earlier defeated the United States 24-12, will be aiming to defend their title against the Canadians. This marks Canada's best Olympic performance to date, having previously won bronze in 2016. The final is set to take place later tonight, where Canada will seek their first Olympic gold in this sport.
