Speaking after securing the third Olympic spot from the series, Canadian captain Jen Kish said: “It’s been hard work and a long process for us. To finally get to Rio and have our dreams become a reality is amazing. We’re going for a strong day two as we want to leave Amsterdam, not only going to Rio, but with the cup as well,” she added.

Australian captain Sharni Williams was delighted to finally reach a goal that was set out at the start of the season: “It’s been a long time coming…but the job is not done yet because we’re here for the tournament and to get into the finals.”

New Zealand had already booked their place in the Olympics, when they qualified at the London 7s last weekend.
