Australia's world champion women's rugby sevens side have romped to a maiden Commonwealth Games title.
The 2016 Olympic champions beat Fiji 22-12 at Coventry Arena, close to host city Birmingham, on Sunday night, reversing the form after losing to them in Saturday's final pool game.
Victory, earned after a thrilling semi-final defeat of New Zealand, was sweet after an extra time loss in women's sevens' debut on the Gold Coast four years ago.
And it continues their resurgent 2022 form that saw them romp to a World Series title.

Faith Nathan scored two first-half tries and when Madison Ashby ran onto a pass it was 17-0 on half time.
Maddison Levi then scored her 10th Games try to allow a comfortable buffer for Tim Walsh's side, which has rebounded spectacularly since missing the podium at their Olympic title defence in Tokyo last year.
Program mainstay Charlotte Caslick was typically central, snuffing out Fijian attacks and marshalling Australia's offence in a continuation of the form that saw her crowned player of this year's World Series.
Their win followed the men's side's fourth-place finish, New Zealand too strong in a 26-12 bronze medal playoff earlier on Sunday.
