SCRIPT (in case you want to read along!):

Thanks For Exploring With Me.😊 -Map Nerd

I love the Olympics, but this year’s Parade of Nations left out one of the best parts: THE NATIONS!

There are 206 countries that carried their flag down the river on Friday, and for many of them this is one of very few times they get international attention. So, if the Olympics won’t give them what they deserve, I will! Here’s info on the lesser known Olympic nations...

Prior to Saturday only one nation has won gold in rugby sevens since the sport’s debut in 2016.

That would be Fiji.

You probably know Fiji as a spot for luxurious vacations and luxurious bottled water, but yes, it is also a rugby powerhouse. Rugby is the national sport here. About 10% of the entire population are registered players, and their top athletes play overseas.

The country comprises more than 330 islands but almost all of its 900,000 people live on the two largest, which are about 3 hours by plane from New Zealand, and 10 hours from Los Angeles.

As for the luxurious bottled water: yes it does actually come from an aquifer in Fiji. Whether that justifies its price, I’ll leave up to you.
