Sorry mate, but there's no summer Olympics in 2010 only winter Olympics 8) :-[
But there's no rugby on ice. That's icehockey :P or curling ;D
This is for the 2016 Olympics in Brazil together with GOLF!.
I expected it to be in 2012 in London since they are both British games.

There, I was hoping they would play some snow sevens like they do in Alaska.

It is very addicting to watch, non-stop action.

It was fun to play but it wears you out quick and i wasn't near fast enough.

It is addictive. I tried some normal rugby ("ladies" of course) and that was great! But just watching sevens makes my lungs collapse.  ;D

How the heck can you play a game with just seven?
Seems to me there would have to be a very liberal substitution
policy, else all the players would be dead by halftime.

It is a very quick game, two seven minute halves and a one minute halftime.
Very fun to watch.
