‘We’re going to the Olympics’: Women’s 3×3 earn ticket to Paris

Australia’s women’s 3×3 basketball team has qualified for the Paris Olympic Games, winning a tournament in Japan to book its ticket to France.

The Gangurrus won the FIBA 3×3 Universality Olympic Qualifying Tournament 2 in Utsunomiya, Japan on Sunday, defeating Canada in the final.

Australia, who won the Asia Cup earlier this year, topped its group en route to the semifinals.

A narrow 18-16 win over Brazil sent the game to the decider, where the Gangurrus toppled second-seed Canada 19-16.
