Goal achieved! We are far from our top level in 2008-2012 and probably won't make it to the QF, but at least we managed to qualify and Rudy Fernández will play his 6th and last Olympics.

Regarding team for Olympic tournaments

 

1996- qualification from the Athens Eurobasket (4th place, the first 4 qualified)

 

2004- host country, direct qualification

 

2008- qualification from the pre-Olympic tournament at our home, in Athens

 

2024- qualification from the pre-Olympic tournament at our home again, in Piraeus

 

In all 4 participations home helped us to qualify , since less teams progress in the olympics, we have a lot of difficulty in qualifying process...

Spain must include in the NT younger talented players like Sergio De Larrea, Aday Mara Gómez

I don't think that's going to happen. If you asked me last year I saw a good chance for Aday Mara or even Izan Almansa to make the cut, but this season Aday joined UCLA and, as far as I know, he didn't play very often.

I think I'm the only Puertorican  in this forum  

 

Lithuania is undoubtedly the favorite today.  I'm just hoping for a close game, and you never know.... Good luck!

Considering how difficult it is to qualify in this sport, I think it's pretty remarkable that from 1980 onwards,  only missed the 2000 Olympics in men's basketball. 11 out of the last 12. Only  and  have a perfect record. In Europe the closest team is , that competed in 7 out of 8 Olympics after the independence. Let's see if they make it 8 out of 9 in a few hours.

I don't think so, I didn't post anything wrong, I just doesn't wanted to see this team in Paris, that's it.
