After winning gold on their Olympic debut in Rio, they completely missed out on medals when they last competed in Tokyo.

Who is Maddi Levi?

Australia’s star player so far in the Women’s Rugby Sevens is 22-year-old Maddi Levi, who hails from the Gold Coast.

In just four games, Levi has scored 11 goals, a record for a single Olympic Games. You’d think she’d be done there.

Levi is a multi-sport athlete, having previously played for the Gold Coast Suns AFLW team and captained goal kicking in her first season in 2021. After a year, she moved up to Rugby Sevens.

Levi plays alongside her younger sister Teagan, who also has three tries to her name, and her speed and strength will likely dominate the sport for years to come.
