"Rugby Sevens can officially call itself an Olympic Sport after it won a majority vote at the IOC congress in Copenhagen.
Sevens' presentation led by Bernard Lapasset, IRB President, was well received by the IOC committee with the exciting, fast and huge universality of the sport impressing the members.
Rugby Sevens had 81 votes in favour and eight against with one abstention. Golf was also voted into the 2016 Games passing by 63 votes to 27, with two abstentions. The Bella Centre in the Danish capital hosted the conference.
"We are excited and honoured to be joining the Olympic Games and I would like to thank the IOC members for believing in our Olympic vision and our values and recognising that Rugby Sevens is a perfect fit for the Olympic Games," said Lapasset
"The Olympic Games will be the pinnacle of the sport for all our athletes and the Rugby family. The best men's and women's players in the world are excited to be able to showcase their talent on the world's greatest sporting stage."
