    The lure of the Olympics has helped All Blacks sevens rep Andrew Knewstubb overcome two years of pain

    The lure of the Olympics has helped All Blacks sevens rep Andrew Knewstubb overcome two years of pain


    The 28-year-old quicksilver outside back was sidelined for two seasons after suffering consecutive ACL injuries on the same knee.

    Knewstubb won silver at the Tokyo Olympics and going one better in Paris was motivating as he went to dark places during rehab.



    The All Black Sevens tackle Japan and South Africa in pool play tomorrow morning.
