This is the duel we have all been waiting for at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris: Victor Wembanyama and France will face the star-studded USA team for the gold medal.
The two international basketball powers will meet in the gold medal game on Saturday afternoon. This will be the second consecutive time they have met at the Summer Olympics. The Americans defeated France 87-82 to win gold at the Tokyo Olympics.
In Thursday’s semifinal match, the U.S. team needed a furious second-half comeback to beat Serbia, overcoming a 17-point deficit to win 95-91. Stephen Curry was the top scorer with 36 points, while Joel Embiid (19 points) and LeBron James (16 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists) contributed crucial baskets in the closing stages.
France struggled with its own difficulties in a physically demanding semifinal match against Germany, eventually prevailing 73-69. Guerschon Yabusele led his team in scoring with 17 points, while Wembanyama contributed 11 points, seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks.
Now the US team is just one win away from its fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal, while France will try to win gold for the first time – and do so in front of a cheering home crowd.
