PARIS — The Canadian women’s rugby sevens team will be returning to Starlight Stadium on wings of silver.
“There’s the whole range of all human emotions,” said starting Canada player Caroline Crossley of Victoria. “There’s disappointment, there’s pride, there’s sadness. There’s love for my team. Everything you can possibly feel, I’m feeling right now. “I mostly just cried,” Crossley said. “I hugged them and put my medal around their necks because it’s every much their medal as it is mine.”
“This whole day has just been like a dream. I’m still in shock from our quarter-final win, not because I didn’t think we could do it, but we have been so close so many times and now it lined up just perfectly for us,” she said.
