Australia have claimed back-to-back women's World Rugby Sevens silver medals after going down 31-7 to New Zealand in the Singapore final.
Having thrashed Canada 45-7 earlier on Sunday in the semis, the Aussies were hoping to better their second-placed efforts from last week in Hong Kong, where they were also squeezed out for gold by the Kiwis.
But in a repeat of the 2024 Singapore final, which New Zealand won 31-21, Tim Walsh's side trailed 12-0 at halftime in this year's decider thanks to tries from Michaela Brake and Risi Pouri-Lane.
Despite Maddison Levi scoring her 203rd sevens try, further five-pointers by Jazmin Felix-Hotham, Kelsey Teneti and Brake sealed a fourth triumph in six legs for the already-crowned series champions.
Australia finished on 106 points, 10 behind New Zealand.
In the men's Cup decider, Fiji overcame Kenya 21-12 after having beaten league winners Argentina (104 points) in their last-four clash, 33-24.
The result saw Fiji (96) claim a fourth tournament success in Singapore and pip Spain (88) for second place overall.
Australia's men's side finished their campaign sixth in the standings, after defeating France 28-5 before going down 26-7 to South Africa's Blitzboks for a 10th-placed finish.
