Maddison Levi Leads Australia to Historic Dubai Sevens Victory

The 22-year-old rugby star broke records and secured Australia's fifth consecutive Dubai Sevens title with a decisive try against New Zealand.

  • Maddison Levi scored a record-breaking 15 tries in the Dubai Sevens, surpassing the previous single-tournament record of 14 set by New Zealand's Portia Woodman in 2015.
  • Levi's 90-meter intercept try in the final sealed Australia's 28-24 victory over Olympic champions New Zealand, marking their fifth straight Dubai title.
  • The Australian women's team rebounded from their Olympic disappointment earlier this year, where they failed to medal, with this tournament victory under new captain Bella Nasser.
  • Teagan Levi, Maddison's sister, and Faith Nathan also played key roles in the tournament, contributing crucial tries throughout the event.
  • Maddison Levi, named World Rugby Sevens Player of the Year for the second consecutive year, remains open to exploring other sports in the future but is committed to pursuing Olympic gold with rugby.
