The French men’s 3×3 basketball team won their ticket to the Paris Olympic Games by qualifying for the final of the qualifying tournament in Debrecen (Hungary) on Sunday. The Blues, who played their last card in Debrecen, where they had to take one of the first three places to go to Paris, dominated Mongolia (22-21) in the semi-finals. On a winning shot from Timothée Vergiat when they never led the match.
Almost the same scenario as that experienced in the quarter-finals, with a victory against Germany after extra time (19-17) on a distant basket from Jules Rambaut without ever having been in front before. The Blues, absent from the 2021 Olympics, join the French women’s team in Paris, which was present three years ago and won its ticket for 2024 via the world ranking.
