Sport: A Fijian sporting hero profiled on film

9:55 am on 5 November 2016

The story behind one one of Fiji's gold medal heroes has been captured in a film by the Olympic Channel.

Jerry Tuwai grew up in a settlement scuffing off his toenails by playing rugby with plastic bottles on a gravel road - since then the road has been sealed and he's brought home a gold medal from the 2016 Olympics as part of the Fiji Sevens team.
