Germany Advances To Semifinals In Olympic Basketball Tournament

NCAA Womens Basketball: NCAA Tournament Second Round-Iowa vs West Virginia

Germany secured a spot in the semifinals of the Olympics after a convincing 76-63 victory over Greece. The game's defining moment came late in the fourth quarter when Dennis Schröder of Germany made a remarkable three-point shot from long range, extending his team's lead to 15 points with just under two minutes remaining. This shot effectively sealed the fate of the Greek team, who called a timeout in a last-ditch effort to turn the tide.

Looking ahead, Germany will face the winner of the France-Canada matchup, scheduled to take place later at the Bercy Arena in Paris. This marks a significant achievement for the German team, as it is their first time advancing to the medal round in the history of the Olympics.
