RUSSIANS NOW ON GB’S OLYMPIC FLYPATH
Great Britain’s path into the knock-out stages of the Olympic Games has become even harder after Russia were added to their first round group in London following the end of the qualification tournament. The perennial European powerhouse secured their spot in Caracas, along with Lithuania and Nigeria.
After a draw was made on Sunday night, the latter two teams were added to Group A, along side the USA.
While the Russians now become GB’s opening opponents in London on July 29.
Nigeria beat Dominican Republic 88-73 in the qualifiers’ final game to become the 12th and final addition to the field.
Group A: Lithuania, Tunisia, USA, France, Nigeria, Argentina.
Group B: China, Great Britain, Brazil, Australia, Russia, Spain
Do you like our work?
We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.
We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.
We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.
If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.
We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
