^it's always a matter of perspectives, of course. But my criteria to define prestige here is seeing if it is important to everyone involved in said sport. Example: in Gymnastics, the olympics is the most important competition for every single top gymnast, not even one of them will be absent except for injuries. Meanwhile in Golf or Tennis a lot of top players are dropping out, something they wouldn't ever do for a major or GS, therefore, it's not the most important competition in those sport. Same goes for boxing or rugby 7s regardless of the small differences, the best pros or union players could be in Rio if they wanted, but in majority they won't be.

Rugby - sevens is seen as a phase to develop young players skills for many top nations of the sport. Some players become specialists in sevens, but most often it's because they weren't good enough to become top players in the XV game. Boxing - top boxers become pros in most countries. Cycling Road - Tour de France, Giro, etc are more important. I would also say that men's basketball is starting to take the football path, in a few olympic cicles we could end up with a youth tournament while the world cup gains the most relevance (such is the plan of NBA).

I predicted 1-0 for Albania my only highlight prediction of this euro. I think they have a chance of going through, they will finish above group C 3rd very likely (don't see Northern Ireland getting a point out of Germany) and their other chance is group E and hoping the other Ireland doesn't defeat Italy (I think Belgium will beat Sweden easily). EDIT: oops, I forgot they have 3 points and not 4, surpassing N. Ireland will be difficult cuz they need Germany win at least 4-0.

Fiji have been the best in sevens for decades even above nations like Australia or NZ that invest more than anyone else in this sport, I don't see any reason for that to change soon. -

Chile was precise and voracious, but Mexican defense was the worst I have seen. All the backline playing almost in midfield with huge holes in the middle. Almost all goals were identical, long pass to unmarked chilean in the wing or through the middle and then go one on one with mexican defender, the latter always losing.
-
0-7 FT RIP mexico's coach and possibly many of the players' international careers.
-
0-6 this is bananas. I can't wait to see the memes out of this.
-
0-4 suicide defense
-
Mexico is a disaster, looks like my prediction for the tournament won't come true.
