At the SVNS Vancouver event, Antoine Dupont made a significant impact, contributing to France's third-place finish and securing a bronze medal, their best performance of the 2024 season. Dupont's try in the third-place play-off against the US was crucial. Meanwhile, Argentina continued their dominance in the series, securing their third consecutive win in Vancouver and extending their winning streak to 18 matches. The Black Ferns Sevens team also celebrated their first Cup final victory of the 2023/24 season, marking a notable achievement. Additionally, Ireland's rugby team suffered a 7-0 loss to Spain in the FIH Pro League Game 7 encounter, and the hockey team ended an eight-game winless campaign with a 4-0 loss to India.
