Line 22: ==Changes== {{See also\|History of the efforts to re-include rugby into the Summer Olympics}} Though rugby has not been featured in the Olympics since the [[1924 Summer Olympics]] in any form, the IOC chose to re-introduce the seven-a-side version of the sport for the games.<ref name="rio">{{cite web \|url=http://www.rio2016.com/en/the-games/olympic/sports/rugby \|title=Rugby \|publisher=Rio 2016 \|access-date=14 August 2012 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801090354/http://rio2016.com/en/the-games/olympic/sports/rugby \|archive-date=1 August 2012 }}</ref> The sport ~~will~~was ~~feature~~featured for ~~this~~the ~~olympics~~[[2016 Summer Olympics\|2016]] and the [[2020 Summer Olympics]]. ==Venue== Line 31: Brazil men’s and women’s teams automatically qualified for the events. Qualification began with the [[2014–15 Sevens World Series]] (men's) and [[2014–15 World Rugby Women's Sevens Series]], where the 4 teams at the top of the standings qualified for the 2016 Olympic Games. In June–September 2015, each of the six regional rugby unions held an Olympic qualification event, where one team from each region qualified. The final spot will be determined by a [[repechage]] tournament. It will comprise 16 teams from the regional qualifiers: 4 from Europe, 3 from Africa, 3 from Asia, 2 from Oceania, 2 from North America and 2 from South America. As a result of Great Britain competing as one union in the Olympics and as several in international rugby (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Irish players that choose to play for the Irish Rugby Union), should one of either the England, Wales or Scotland teams qualify then Great Britain will be awarded a spot in the Olympic Games. These three British unions agreed in advance of the 2013–14 [[2013–14 IRB Sevens World Series\|men's]] and [[2013–14 IRB Women's Sevens World Series\|women's]] Sevens World Series that their highest-finishing teams in that season would represent all three unions in the first stage of qualification in both 2014–15 series. The England [[England national rugby sevens team\|men's]] and [[England women's national rugby union team (sevens)\|women's]] teams earned the right to represent the British unions in that stage of their respective competitions.<ref>{{cite press release \|url=http://www.irbsevens.com/archive/tcode=1280/season=2013/news/newsid=2071465.html#england+nominated+qualify+gb+olympics \|title=England nominated to qualify GB for Olympics \|publisher=[[World Rugby\|International Rugby Board]] \|date=11 July 2014 \|access-date=13 July 2014 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141006080412/http://www.irbsevens.com/archive/tcode%3D1280/season%3D2013/news/newsid%3D2071465.html#england+nominated+qualify+gb+olympics \|archive-date=6 October 2014 \|url-status=usurped \|df=dmy-all }}</ref> The unions will then decide the composition of the Great Britain team. Players based in Northern Ireland are part of the [[Irish Rugby Football Union]] and the IRFU demanded that Northern Irish players, that have committed to play for the Irish rugby union, only play for Ireland despite being eligible under IOC rules to compete for Great Britain.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid%3D2070257.html \|title=~~Archived~~International ~~copy~~Rugby Board - Olympic Rugby Sevens qualification confirmed \|website=www.irb.com \|access-date=17 January 2022 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140222180047/http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid%3D2070257.html \|archive-date=22 February 2014 \|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.irb.com/mm/document/aboutirb/irborganisation/02/06/18/19/120327ljrugbysevensplanfinal.pdf \|title=Archived copy \|website=www.irb.com \|access-date=17 January 2022 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120424195138/http://www.irb.com/mm/document/aboutirb/irborganisation/02/06/18/19/120327ljrugbysevensplanfinal.pdf \|archive-date=24 April 2012 \|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web \|last1=Mackay \|first1=Duncan \|title=Rio 2016 qualifying system for rugby sevens revealed \|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1013475/rio-2016-qualifying-system-for-rugby-sevens-revealed \|website=Inside the Games \|access-date=20 April 2016 \|date=23 March 2013 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806005315/http://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1013475/rio-2016-qualifying-system-for-rugby-sevens-revealed \|archive-date=6 August 2016 \|url-status=live \|df=dmy-all }}</ref> The world governing body for the sport renamed itself from the International Rugby Board to [[World Rugby]] (WR) effective 19 November 2014.<ref>{{cite press release \|url=http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid=2072837.html#irb+change+name+world+rugby \|title=IRB to change name to World Rugby \|publisher=International Rugby Board \|date=28 August 2014 \|access-date=28 August 2014 \|url-status=dead \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903113040/http://www.irb.com/newsmedia/mediazone/pressrelease/newsid%3D2072837.html#irb+change+name+world+rugby \|archive-date=3 September 2014 \|df=dmy-all}}</ref> Line 105: ====Group A==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~men~~– Men's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|A ~~standings~~}} ====Group B==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~men~~– Men's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|B ~~standings~~}} ====Group C==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~men~~– Men's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|C ~~standings~~}} ===Knockout stage=== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament\|Bracket}} ==Women's competition== Line 122: ====Group A==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~women~~– Women's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|A ~~standings~~}} ====Group B==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~women~~– Women's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|B ~~standings~~}} ====Group C==== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics ~~women~~– Women's ~~rugby sevens group~~ tournament\|C ~~standings~~}} ===Knockout stage=== {{#section:Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Women's tournament\|Bracket}} ==Competition schedule== Line 237: \| {{flagIOC\|CAN\|2016 Summer}} (CAN) {{plainlist\| * [[Brittany Benn]] * [[Hannah Darling (rugby union)\|Hannah Darling]] * [[Bianca Farella]] * [[Jen Kish]] Line 277: {{Commons category\|Rugby sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics}} * {{Cite web \|url=https://www.rio2016.com/en/rugby-sevens \|title=Rugby Sevens at the 2016 Summer Olympics (Rio2016.com) \|access-date=23 July 2018 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160826074345/https://www.rio2016.com/en/rugby-sevens \|archive-date=26 August 2016 \|url-status=bot: unknown \|df=dmy-all }} * {{SR/Olympics sport at games\|sport=Rugby Sevens\|archive=20180720170700}} * {{Cite web \|url=http://corporate.olympics.com.au/files/dmfile/Rio2016QualificationSystem-rugby.pdf \|title=Rio 2016 Qualification System: Rugby (Olympics.com.au) \|access-date=6 February 2015 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151010070858/http://corporate.olympics.com.au/files/dmfile/Rio2016QualificationSystem-rugby.pdf \|archive-date=10 October 2015 \|url-status=dead \|df=dmy-all }} * [https://library.olympic.org/Default/digitalCollection/DigitalCollectionAttachmentDownloadHandler.ashx?parentDocumentId=165312&documentId=165353 Results Book – Rugby Sevens] Line 290: [[Category:2016 rugby sevens competitions]] [[Category:International rugby union competitions hosted by Brazil]] [[Category:Rugby sevens competitions in Brazil]] [[Category:Rugby sevens competitions in South America]]
