Rugby team forfeits rugby national championship to honor the Sabbath

18-year-old Mormon, Amber Ah Sue, wins Senior gold medal at the Oceania and South Pacific Wrestling Championship in Samoa.

(Amber made a similar decision as the rugby team about not participating in a state championship on Sunday.)

Incidentally, these decisions to not participate in sports on Sunday are individual decisions; some Mormon athletes do choose to compete in their sports on Sundays.
