Maddison and Teagan Levi, two standout athletes in Australian rugby, have committed to Rugby Union by signing contract extensions that will keep them in the sport through at least the upcoming Los Angeles Olympics. This news comes in the wake of speculation that the sisters might move to the Gold Coast Titans in the NRLW, which is their home state’s club.
The Levi sisters, who are integral members of the Australian women’s 7s team, are driven to redeem themselves after experiencing a heartbreaking fourth-place finish at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The prospect of capturing an elusive Olympic gold medal, alongside the excitement of competing in a home World Cup, has fueled their decision to continue with Rugby Union.
This weekend, the sisters will take to the field representing Australia at the Singapore 7s, where they will compete against teams such as Fiji, Great Britain, Spain, and South Africa. Their Fijiana counterparts are also set to challenge recognized teams, including the USA and Japan. Fans can watch all the matches live on FBC TV, reflecting the growing enthusiasm for rugby across the region.
The commitment demonstrated by the Levi sisters not only highlights their strong passion for the sport but also inspires young athletes who aspire to achieve greatness. Their decision to remain in Rugby Union underscores their dedication and promise of an exciting future, both for themselves and for Australian rugby as they pursue their dreams on an international platform.
