Strong EM graduation for the German basketball players: A clear victory is achieved against the Czech Republic. The reward: the best placement in 28 years.
After the best EM position for 28 years, the German basketball players fluctuated between pride and disappointment. “Part of me is super proud of how we played the last two games. But some of me are also disappointed that we are not there in another game,” said WNBA champion Leonie Fiebich with a view of the final games. After all, a medal in front of the European Championship was the big goal.
But in view of the lack of the two WNBA stars Satou and Nyara Sabally as well as the injury-related failure of captain Marie Gülich, the German selection could be satisfied with fifth place. Germany was better in 1997 when the team finished third. In the game for fifth place there was an 81:70 (37:32) against the Czech Republic in Piraeus.
“The sky is the border”
Now all the focus of the home world championship in Berlin will apply in the coming year. “If we have all the players with us, we are a very dangerous team. Nobody wants to play against us. The sky is the border,” said national coach Lisa Thomaidis.
Germany continued its upward trend in women’s basketball with fifth place at the European Championship. In the European Championships 2023, the German team took sixth place and reached the quarter -finals at Olympia in Paris last year.
“In view of the circumstances, this was the best result for us. It is a big step for the German basketball. We are looking forward to the next year,” said the naturalized burial actress Alexis Peterson at Magentasport.
Appearance makes courage for home World Cup
After two wins and a defeat during the preliminary round in Hamburg, Germany had to admit defeated in Piraeus in the quarter -finals defending champion Belgium. Fiebich and her colleagues shook the disappointment, won the two placement games against Turkey and the Czech Republic confidently and refueled confidence for the home World Cup in Berlin next year. The best German thrower at the end of the Czech Republic was Fiebich with 20 points.
