Big welcome for Sevens team |
|
The national sevens team received a typically Pacific welcome in Las Vegas yesterday. Coach Stephen Betham and his squad arrived at Las Vegas to be greeted by traditional song and dances from Samoans in Las Vegas.
The welcome was organised by Las Vegas company, StylePasifika. It organised the welcome for teams from Samoa, Fiji and New Zealand upon their arrival at McCarran International Airport. Several leaders of the Polynesian community in Las Vegas were at the airport to welcome the teams.
The welcoming ceremony took place in the baggage claim area. While the athletes were coming off long international flights, courtesy dictated that community members respond by performing a wardance, StylePasifika said in a statement. Back
