According to German news agency SID, the FIBA has asked German federation today, if they had "a general interest" to host an Olympic Qualifier. So this means the banned teams might not be allowed to play at the Olympics or the Qualification tournaments either.

It was absurd, FIBA is how the maphia

Ingo Weiss, the president of the German federation, confirmed, that they have gotten a FIBA-Letter asking them about the Qualification tournament. But I cannot believe that FIBA will ban all these countries. They probably exect them to cancel the Champions League now under this additional pressure.

If all those bans turn into Olympic bans then France and Czech Republic will automatically qualify to the Olympics while Latvia, Belgium, Georgia, Finland and Germany will qualify to the qualifying tournament. The next two will depend on the hosts, if European then Estonia and the Netherlands will compete. Dominican Republic will take Turkey's place for being the highest ranked non-qualified nation.

 

It probably won't come to this, but it's funny to think about it.

 For me this is very funny. They don;t understand that basketball in Europe without Spain,France,Lithuania,Serbia,Croatia,Greece,Italy etc will become one joke sport. Basketball is after football most popular sport in Europe and if this happens the situation will be worse than the current

It think FIBA tries to bluff, but no one will believe them. It would be suicide to exclude all those nations from the olympic games. Its insane that they want to punish national team for the behavior of clubs, IOC should finally make a statement to end all this. I am sure that we will qualify for the olympic games in 2020 and it wouldve been nice to play in Rio, but this would be an extremely embarrassing way to qualify.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

yes :d It will be more popular than EuroBaket for sure.

 

Yes. And I think this is why FIBA is threatening with the Olympic ban. If all these teams can't play at World Championships and Olympic Games, it would hurt them more. But it would also really hurt Basketball as a sport. FIBA can't honestly want that.

As an outsider it seems FIBA's whole point, against that weird Euroleague with a list of pre-qualified teams, is very good, but they are playing it absolutely horrible :facepalm:

 

As said here above: FIBA is probably trying to bluff or something.

    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
