Russia wins EuroBasket; Olympic qualifying wrap-up
With their 74-68 victory over Spain, the Russians clinched the final qualification spot from the 2007 tournaments for the 2008 Olympics.
If you didn’t win your tournament this year, your only way in is if you qualified for the play-in tournament next June, but until then, here’s the teams who have punched their ticket for Beijing.
China’s hosting and the Opals of Australia — already in via their victory in the World Championships — also won the Oceania Tournament. The United States, Mali, Russia and South Korea clinched spots with their respective tournament victories.
Correcting something I had written about earlier, New Zealand clinched a spot in the Olympics by finishing first among the teams that could qualify via the Oceania tournament (well, they beat Fiji).
Qualifying for the play-in tournament were: Cuba, Brazil, Argentina, Fiji, Chinese Taipei, Japan, Belarus, Czech Republic, Spain, Latvia, Senegal and Angola.
