In 2007 Sweden took silver in the junior championship in basketball. Joining the team were among other honorees Elin and Frida Eldebrink and Louice "Lollo" Halvarsson. Since then, the three have been an obvious part of the national team. The sixth place in the European Championships last year is the biggest success in sports that exists in the world and where competition is stiff at the top. Reaching an Olympics would be the Swedish Basque's greatest success ever.
- It feels like a dream. You haven't figured out yet that this is an Olympic qualifier we have to play, says Lollo Halvarsson at the player hotel in Belgian Ostend where the tournament is decided.
Their big chanceHalvarsson and the twins have had just over 30 years and know that this is their great chance to be able to write history.
- We have a fantastic team. The best we have ever had, says Frida Eldebrink.
- We have threats at every position and, compared to ten years ago, everyone plays abroad as professionals and develops there. Should we get to the Olympics it is now or never, says Halvarsson.
