Great Britain women won bronze at the World Rugby Sevens Series event in Hong Kong, but the men’s team missed out on a medal.
The women beat Fiji 22-19 to claim their first medal of the 2022-23 worldwide series.
However, GB men finished fourth in their event, beaten 19-17 by France in the bronze final.
New Zealand won both events, beating Australia in the women’s final and Fiji in the men’s event.
Isla Norman-Bell scored the winning try for GB women against Fiji in the 17th minute at Hong Kong Stadium.
Jasmine Joyce scored two tries for GB in the third-place match, with Lisa Thomson also dotting down.
It is the first time the British women have finished in a top-three spot this season, with the seventh and final tournament taking place in Toulouse from 12 to 14 May.
The British men were unable to repeat the women’s heroics, with Stephen Parez touching down for France’s decisive score at the conclusion of an end-to-end encounter.
