While Fiji took the main title and Russia qualified for next year's series, the road to Rio continued and fans were treated to beautiful Sevens on and off the pitch.
Below we look at some of the highlights, and the most spoken about moments from the three day tournament, beginning with some form of Olympic diving competition the players took part in to celebrate 40 years in Hong Kong.
Leading into the week, the HKRFU named their 'magnificent seven' comprising of sevens legends Jonah Lomu, Eric Rush, David Campese, Waisale Serevi, Christian Cullen, Johnny Zhang and Ben Gollings.

While the magnificent seven were being celebrated, Zack Test found an old friend in the crowd, as Todd Clever joined the 120,000 fans at the event.

It wasn't just Todd Clever there either as Brian O'Driscoll, George Gregan, Jonathan Davies and Gavin Hastings joined the magnificent seven as the South Stand reached capacity from early on day one – and created one of the longest queues worth waiting in.

On the field moment after moment of magical sevens continued with try after try after try at the Hong Kong Stadium, and in between Portugal making history by drawing with New Zealand and Russia qualifying for the series, Collins Injera was busy becoming the all-time leading try scorer in Hong Kong.
Fiji went on to win the main competition, and while there are countless other wonderful moments from this historic event, including the naming of two more sevens dream teams, we'll leave you with some of the best from the final.
