@Makedonas 2 more quotas for Olympics

Την πρόκριση για τους Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες του Παρισιού εξασφάλισαν οι Χριστίνα Μπούρμπου και Ευαγγελία Αναστασιάδου, στη δίκωπο γυναικών. Μια ακόμα ελληνική βάρκα… έφυγε για Ολυμπιακούς Αγώνες. Μετά τον Στέφανο Ντούσκο, την πρόκριση για το ραντεβού του 2024 εξασφάλισαν οι Χριστίνα Μπούρμπου και Ευαγγελία Αναστασιάδου, στη δίκωπο γυναικών. Το ελληνικό πλήρωμα εξασφάλισε την έβδομη θέση στο Παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα, τερματίζοντας στην πρώτη θέση του μικρού τελικού, με χρόνο 7:11.94. Μάλιστα, άντεξαν στην... αντεπίθεση που έκαναν οι Ισπανίδες στα τελευταία μέτρα και πήραν με ιδανικό τρόπο το πολύτιμο εισιτήριο.

Ο Στέφανος Ντούσκος σφράγισε το εισιτήριο για τους Ολυμπιακούς αγώνες στο Παρίσι. Ο χρυσός Ολυμπιονίκης του Τόκιο θα είναι εκεί το επόμενο καλοκαίρι για να υπερασπίσει τον τίτλο του αφού κατάφερε να πάρει τη 2η θέση στον ημιτελικό του σκιφ στο Παγκόσμιο πρωτάθλημα του Βελιγραδίου και να περάσει στον μεγάλο τελικό όπου την Κυριακη στις 15:25 ώρα Ελλάδας (Απευθείας από την ΕΡΤ3) και μια θέση στο βάθρο των νικητών.

yes but USA will be disappointed because of their defeat in semifinal and maybe they are going to face the match casually without much interest. Lets see. Also i say again to all friends here not to be sad with 4th place. Canada made some big wins against big european teams like France(2nd in last Olympics), Spain (recent world and european champion) and Slovenia of Luca Doncic and most important they secured a spot in Olympics, another global competition with only 12 teams as participants. It isnt a small achievement. My team Greece had finished 4th, 2 times in 90s, 1994 in Canada and in 1998 in Athens, Greece at our home and we felt the same dissapointment.. But now that these successes look so far we understand that those places where big achievements. Canada is above Spain, France, Lithuania, Brazil, Italy..etc..They have already improve their ranking by a lot of places. Argentina a powerhouse of the game during previous years didnt even qualify for the WC and the OQT. The most important for Canada is continuity and further commitement from NBA players

i will be present at this topic and follow all the news about men's team until the end (a medal in Olympics)

Τhe potential is great. Lets hope that next summer more NBAers will be present because of Olympics motivation

Even if Canada ends 4th it will be a big success. The main objective was achieved and the team made its appearance to the top of world basketball after decades. Canada dont have experience from semifinals in big competitions. Serbia is an experienced team with big wins in the past against tough opponents, this game will be a lesson for the future. Also the team needs an additional high class point guard (Jamal Murray) because we saw that SGA should do everything by his own, scoring, passing, rebounds etc.. and 2 more talls as well (Birch, Boucher??, Lyles???) in the place of Edey and Kyle Alexander

- = 95 - 86

Very strong performance by Serbia so far and good defence

El capitán del seleccionado argentino convirtió un golazo en el minuto 78 del primer partido rumbo al Mundial 2026. En un encuentro muy cerrado, Messi se hizo cargo de abrir el marcador con un tanto de tiro libre, dándole el triunfo a la Albiceleste. El capitán de la Selección Argentina, Lionel Messi, llegó a los 104 goles con la camiseta albiceleste.

CONMEBOL world cup qualifiiqation results- Day1 #1 0-0 1-0 (Borré 46') 1-0 (Messi 78')

οf course not. As i said above OQT spots are already fixed. 24 teams , 6 teams in each OQT. There cant be 25 teams

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

we arent favorites even with Giannis.. also i wouldnt underestimate Americas teams. Brazil could be a favorite if they host an OQT, and Bahamas will be very strong if their NBAers participate

How could take part in the OQT since the spots are already fixed? 24 teams , 6 teams in each OQT
