what Canadian media say about the olympic birth? :) :clap: :wCAN:

They are very excited about it.  Basketball is pretty big in Canada and we have some big NBA stars, but it's been 23 years since we qualified a men's team.

Canada and Serbia tied at the half.  Not exactly where I thought it would be right now.  Will this be a Brazil situation where they collapse in the 2nd half, or a Spain situation where they dominate?

Wanted Slovenia to win, as Doncic is one of my favorite NBA players, and would've loved to see him compete at Paris, but not to be this time. Still, can't be mad with a Canada win, and a chance to compete for the medals.

This is the first time that Canada's men team enters the top 4 teams in the FIBA World Championsip. The best result so far was 6th place in 1978 and 1982

That can’t be right, Canadians are the best in the world at finishing 4th!

    • Also it being illegal in France means the IOC will have to test everyone pre arriving at 2030 and can’t wait till they arrive at the Games to do so. I’m sure at 2028 for some sports testing will happen on site if it’s not a rule of its governing body for non Olympic events. So far only a few sports like Athletics and Boxing have that rule - I suspect others will adopt it but others might take time. 
    • https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/articles/cpwj78lxypro ‘In France - one of a number of countries where genetic testing is illegal without a medical prescription due to privacy laws - the government has condemned the decision as "a step backwards". "It defines the female sex without taking into account the biological specificities of intersex individuals, whose sexual characteristics present natural variations, leading to a reductive and potentially stigmatising approach," ⁠claimed French Sports Minister Marina Ferrari.”   ‘A group of legal experts in human rights and sports have since expressed, external"urgent concern" about what they called "the regressive move toward genetic testing as a precondition of participation in women's sport" which they say "violate domestic and international laws that protect human rights and regulate the use of genetic testing and genetic information".  The group has called on athletes "to challenge the national or regional implementation of mandatory genetic sex testing, demanded by the IOC or international federations, before domestic courts, by invoking national or regional laws protecting human rights, prohibiting anti-discrimination, and regulating the use of genetic testing and genetic data".’   Domestic laws are more challenging for the IOC to deal with than CAS. Things could get complicated for a bit. 
    • Except NOC’s and governing bodies have to still follow local laws. Particularly for Under 18’s there could certainly be domestic legal issues regarding associations paying for travel to other counties to circumvent a domestic ban. Child protection services don’t always act reasonable to attempts to break a domestic law.
