German basketball players qualified for the Olympic Games for the first time. DBB women pulled off a big surprise: they are taking part in the Summer Games in Paris.
At the end of the qualifying tournament against hosts Brazil, the team had to tremble again. "I'm speechless. This is historic,” said captain Svenja Brunckhorst. The DBB selection exuberantly celebrated their success on the floor and posed for a group photo behind an oversized boarding pass.
