Rugby Sevens Women's 12-team Tournament
Zimbabwean-born Dominique du Toit moved to Australia with her family at a young age and settled in Queensland. In 2015, she was ushered into the rugby sevens program after a series of stunning performances at the 2014 Youth Olympics in Nanjing, China, where Australia beat Canada for the gold.
The lightning-quick winger scored eight tries throughout the campaign, including a remarkable hat-trick against Canada.
During the 2017-18 Sevens World Series Circuit, Dominique gained a cap in all five legs and at the end of the 2018 World Sevens Series, Dominique was selected for the 2018 Commonwealth Games. The Australian side claimed silver on home soil after falling to New Zealand in the final, 17-12.
Throughout the 2018-19 World Sevens Series, Dominique played three of the legs in Colorado, Dubai and Sydney. She scored two tries in Colorado and five in Dubai.
Dominique made her Olympic debut at the Tokyo 2020 Games. Australia would see progression out of the group stage of the tournament after victories over Japan and China. This set up a quarter-final tie against Fiji, losing 14-12 and went on to finish fifth at these Games.
At her second Commonwealth Games, in Birmingham in 2022, Dominique and the Australian team upgraded to gold, beating Fiji in the final. She was also a member of the team that won the 2021-22 World Rugby Sevens Series title and the Rugby Sevens World Cup in South Africa.
Australia finished second in the 2022-23 World Rugby Sevens Series, with New Zealand taking the title.
Ahead of the Paris Olympics Dominque announced the event would be her last before retiring, joining Sharni Smale as an outgoing member of the team.
At the Paris 2024 Olympics Dominique and the team were a perfect three wins from three games in the pool stage. They took care of Ireland in the quarter-finals 40-7 before a strong Canadian team halted Australia's run in the semi-finals, inflicting a 21-12 loss.
In a tense fight for a bronze medal against the USA, the Americans scored a converted try after time expired for a 14-12 score to relegate the Aussies to fourth place.
Dominique has a bachelor of media and communications from Macquarie University in Sydney.
