Olando says getting the chance to compete in Rio 2016 when rugby sevens made its debut, was a dream come true and Tokyo 2020 is now firmly in her team's sights.

"I played in 2016, it was a great experience - everybody dreams to be an Olympian," Olando told Xinhua.

"Going to the Olympics in 2016 was a surprise so we weren't as well prepared, but we have learned our lessons and I believe the team is in good shape. We are looking to make it to a second Olympics," said Olando.

"We have more young players coming in, there has been a good progression... they have shown so much potential. They bring a lot of positivity to them."

The remaining women's regional qualification tournaments are set to take place next month, with the Oceania Rugby Sevens Championship in Suva, Fiji, on November 7-9 and the Asian qualifier in Guangzhou, China, on Nov. 9-10.

The Women's Sevens World Series 2019 acted as the principal route for qualification for Tokyo 2020 where champions New Zealand, USA, Canada, and Australia claimed the coveted top four spots to secure their automatic places on sport's biggest stage.

Japan, as hosts, automatically qualifies while Britain and Brazil were the first regional qualifiers and have now been joined by Kenya.

A total of 12 teams will compete for medals in each men's and women's competition in Tokyo 2020.

New Zealand's All Blacks are the traditional powerhouse. They have an overwhelming victory rate winning three out of the eight World Cups.
