Gold medal winning coach Ben Ryan will always have a place in Fijian hearts. The 43-year-old Englishman has been given 1.2 hectares of land in the province of Serua along with a "chiefly name" according to a tweet from the Fijian sevens team. Ryan has also received the companion of the Order of Fiji, after his team crushed Great Britain 43-7 in the gold medal game at Rio. Ryan, who coached the England sevens up until 2013, says he will quit the Fijian side.
