Ellia Green is a sprinter by trade, having previously represented Australia in athletics at the World School Games in Qatar in 2009 and scored a crucial try in the Gold Medal match at the Rio Olympics in August 2016.
Ellia catapulted into the international spotlight when she scored an astonishing 80-metre try against Canada in the three-match exhibition series at the Gold Coast Sevens in October 2014. Within four hours, the try had been viewed over 200,000 times on the IRB Sevens World Series Facebook page.
