FIJI sevens fan Silvia Prasad has celebrated many birthdays in her life.
But unlike the one she celebrated today.
Silvia was emotional when her friend, Shelly Kumar surprised her with a cake before raucous Fijian drummers who sang and danced for her at the BC. Place.
And the icing on the cake was a picture of Silvia’s favourite player and star of the team Vuiviawa Naduvalo.
“Silvia is a huge Fiji sevens fan, and her birthday is today with her favourite player and the team playing to win the Canada Sevens,” said Shelly.
“Silvia and I have been friends for a good 10 years, as old as Canada Sevens.
“We met in 2016, and struck a cord, we follow the team and have unerring support for the team.”
Shelly said while Silvia felt all the love from the surprise birthday celebration, she would love to see Fiji win it all in Vancouver.
“Fiji winning would be the icing on the cake for her.
“This one birthday though she’ll forever remember.”
