The Australian women's sevens team have been crowned inaugural SVNS champions after they downed France 26-7 in the Madrid final on Monday morning.
Superstar wing Maddison Levi stole the show once again for the Australians, scoring a hat-trick in the decider to be named player of the final.
Levi's phenomenal effort has seen her rise to second all-time for most tries in a season (69) for men or women, as the side fought off a 7-7 halftime scoreline.
Faith Nathan opened the scoring for Australia but it was usual suspects Charlotte Caslick and Levi who combined twice for spectacular tries before Levi crossed on the left edge for her third and seal the victory for the Aussies.
The win sees the Aussies leapfrog New Zealand on the ladder and claim the SVNS series trophy.
"It's awesome, we love coming to play in Spain, every time we've been here it's been amazing," Caslick said of the win.
"We had a really good weekend; we were clinical in our attack and defended our hearts out so it's nice to be back on top.
"You notice how resilient our team is for such a young group of girls, just the way they adapt to change and bounce back from adversity, it's really inspiring.
"They've still got so much to give, they're so young and they just make me really proud and motivate me to get better every day.
Competing in the winner takes all tournament, Australia made light work of their pool opponents Ireland, Fiji and France before they took on rivals New Zealand in the semifinal on Sunday night.
As has been witnessed so often before, their semifinal clash came down to the wire with Tia Hinds kicking the match-winning conversion after the siren to seal a heroic two-point victory.
Trailing 19-14 at the fulltime siren, Australia rallied, spreading the ball to Caslick who drew in the defence to send the offload late to Levi for the wing to score out wide. It would be enough to level the scores, but all the pressure was on Hinds to slot the conversion.
Keeping a cool head, Hinds did just that, celebrating before the ball had even sailed through the posts, knowing she had sent her side to the championship final.
"It's just a poetic way to start and now end the season as champions!" coach Tim Walsh said.
"We are still building, and this momentum will only motivate us to work harder. Sevens has it all and particularly in this sport you cannot take anything for granted.
"Charlotte was at her world class best and Maddison Levi continued on her scintillating try scoring blitz. I was also particularly impressed with Faith Nathan, Bella Nasser and the outstanding Sariah Paki.
"Everybody has contributed both here and at home. We are a professionally run program and we are Rugby Australia."
Meanwhile, Australia's men finished seventh after they defeated Great Britain 21-0 in their play-off clash.
It was their second win over Great Britain over the weekend after they fell to Argentina and France in their pool matches before they slipped up 24-21 to South Africa in their fifth-place play-off.
"This has been a really tough tournament and we felt we let ourselves down with some very inconsistent performances," coach John Manenti said.
"Lots of lessons learned as we now set sail for Paris. Importantly we got some quality minutes into returning players and we leave Madrid injury-free."
Both teams now turn their focus to Paris and the Olympics.
