Jo Leedham GBGreat Britain Women finished their Olympic tournament without a win after falling 78-66 to Brazil on Sunday night at the Olympic Basketball Arena.

GB, who were awarded a spot at the games as the host nation, finish with an 0-5 Olympics record, and will now look to qualify in their own right for the 2016 Olympic games. Despite going winless, the team won over a lot of fans with their heart and commitment, in a number of tough losses.

Following their exit, Natalie Stafford took to Twitter to show her appreciation to the fans:

Jo Leedham added:

Stafford led GB with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, Leedham finished with 12 and Julie Page added 11. Clarissa Dos Santos had 16 points and 13 rebounds, whilst Adriana Pinto had a 15 point, 12 assist double double for Brazil.

Leedham finished as the team’s leading scorer with a 16.2 average through 5 games.

Box score.

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.
