The Fiji 7s captain Jerry Tuwai will create another piece of history tonight.

He will become the first player in Fiji’s history to win back to back Olympic Games medal as he is the lone survivor from the 2016 team.

When he featured at the Tokyo Olympic Games, it was only his mom, dad and siblings on his mind.

Prayers and support with Jerry and the team https://t.co/ba2u4LkISW

However, five years later, the Olympic gold medalist will run out at rugby 7s biggest stage with a little more family members cheering for him.

Tuwai has a family of his own and just hours away from the final, Fiji Rugby has released a simple but powerful message from his two kids as they wished their dad well.

Shout-Out to our Skipper Jerry Tuwai.
His kids Lani and Jone who have not seen their TA for nearly four months have a simple message for him, as Jerry leads our national team to the gold medal final at 9pm.
Thank you Lani and Jone. #TokyoOlympics #HowWeSevens #TosoViti pic.twitter.com/LDLs3mvNxS
