Rio Olympics 2016: Japanese sevens star Lomano Lemeki believes he is one of the most hated men in New ZealandALESSANDRO BIANCHIJapanese sevens star Lomano Lemeki is "probably" one of the most hated men in New Zealand right now, not that it bothers him. When asked about his team's giant-killing run in Rio, Lemeki didn't have an insightful answer. He also said fellow Japanese athletes in Rio didn't know about rugby and who the players were at the start of the Olympics. Lemeki said Japan was taking an "if we lose, we lose, if we win, we win" attitude into each game. Boosted by Lemeki, the leading try scorer in Rio, Japan topped France 12-7 on Thursday (NZ time) in the quarterfinals and is two wins away from winning a gold medal.
