This is the moment of truth. The one who can turn a career into an adventure – historic and Olympic – or plunge it into an abysmal void. Two weeks after missing a first opportunity to win their ticket to the Paris Games, during the Olympic Qualifying Tournament (TQO) in Japan, the French men’s 3×3 basketball team is offered a second – but ultimate this time – chance to invite yourself to the summer party. She will participate from this Thursday, May 16 (first match at 3:15 p.m. against Egypt) in the TQO in Debrecen, Hungary.
To obtain the precious ticket, the Blues will have to get out of their group (where they will also face Spain and Canada), then pass the quarter-final hurdle and win their semi-final or the small final. If only one ticket were up for grabs in Japan, there will be this three happy Sunday. Seeded number 2, France approaches this meeting with an appetite that the Japanese “disappointment” has not dampened.
