High Stakes at Fribourg Tournament as Countries Vie for Olympic 3×3 Basketball Spots

The Fribourg tournament has begun! And it is of capital importance for several countries. In particular France, which will designate, at the end of this weekend, the four players who will represent the country at the Paris Olympic Games, scheduled from July 26 to August 11. “It’s the worst time for a coach,” sighs Karim Souchu, former pro, now coach of the French 3×3 team. I have 17 players who can claim one of the four places. I have to find the right mix knowing that I will have to say no to 13 of them…”

Jennifer Rizzotti, the US national coach, no longer has this “problem”. She made her choice at the beginning of June. This weekend in Freiburg, she brought two of the four Americans – Rhyne Howard and Dearica Hamby are currently playing in the WNBA championship – who will represent the star-spangled banner in Paris: Hailey van Lith and Cierra Burdick, 2023 world champions.
