Ben Ryan, the man who led Fiji to Olympic Rugby Sevens gold in Rio, recalls his surprise at being recognised by NBA star Carmelo Anthony.

"He called me 'Mr. Fiji' and I was like how am I even on your radar, with your 7.2 million twitter followers?" mused Ryan.

It transpired Anthony, and his New York Knicks teammates, had watched all of Fiji's matches at the Olympics.

"I'd like to be involved in another Olympics because it is so magical," Ryan added.
