That's the way Fijians support their rugby players.

Yesterday at the Youth Olympic games in Nanjing, the Fijian men lost a hard fought battle to France in the semifinals, despite enthusiastic support from family members and fellow athletes.

Rugby Sevens is one of the 31 sporting events featured at the second edition of the Youth summer Olympic games in Nanjing.

But more significantly, this event marks rugby's official return to the Olympic fold after a 92 year absence.

The last time rugby was played in an Olympics was at the Paris Games of 1924.

Rugby fans have waited a long time for their beloved sport's return, and next up is Rio 2016.

The level of play is a fair indicator of which countries are rugby powerhouses and which are still developing.

There were strong performances from the top four: France, Argentina, Kenya, and Fiji.

Maurice Tikasilva was disappointed her son and team Fiji lost out on the chance for the gold, but was proud of the way he broke his wrist and didn't quit.

"The first game, I mean they were doing good all along until today, but we supported our sons. He played good but he broke his wrist from the first game, he had the first touchdown for USA, but he stood for his team and played right through."

Rugby sevens has grown in popularity around the world, but recently the competitiveness of the various countries competing in the Sevens circuit has exploded.

In addition to the usual powerhouses like New Zealand and South Africa, countries without rugby roots, like China, Japan, and the US, have also become more competitive in recent years.

Michael Matthews and his family were in the stands supporting their son Aaron Matthews, who plays flyhalf for team USA.

He said team USA has gotten better recently, although they still aren't a top contender for the podium:

"The competition is good. America has to do some more things to work together as a team, but overall the competition is good but it's showing us where we need to get better… Support, teamwork, we have the talent, the talent's there, but it's just the overall strategy of the game.

Aaron Matthews and many of his teammates are first-generation rugby players.

Usually the story goes that these American teens take up rugby during their football off-season to stay in shape, but then they end up getting hooked on rugby.

China is another country that has seen rapid developments in the sport of rugby.

The Chinese men didn't send a team to the youth games this year, but the women’s team had some dominant victories during the group stages.

Anchored by talented players like Liu Xiaoqian and Wang Tingting, the Chinese team stomped over Canada, Tunisia, the USA, and Spain before falling in a rematch with Canada in the semis.

They'll compete for the bronze medal later today.
