PARIS (AP) — Defending champion New Zealand and 2016 gold medalist Australia dominated their groups on the opening day of the Olympic women's rugby sevens competition at Stade de France.

Ilona Maher has already produced a moment for the U.S. team that personified the posts she sends on social media about strong, athletic women.
