Men’s basketball: here’s Kieran Pender on the Boomers, who are due an Olympic medal by the sounds of it:
For so long, an Olympic medal has eluded the
Australian men’s
basketball team, the Boomers. At four Olympics, spread across four decades, the Australians have reached the semi-finals only to lose and then lose again in the bronze medal clash. Most recently, at the 2016 Rio Games, the Australians lost out on bronze to
Spain by one point following a questionable foul call.
At Tokyo 2020, a medal for Australia remains two matches and at least one win away. But the Boomers are now guaranteed another chance at a medal after beating
Argentina in the Olympic quarter-finals on Tuesday night to book a blockbuster semi-final clash with the
United States. If the Boomers can beat the reigning champions – who they defeated in a pre-Games warm-up in
Las Vegas – they will play for a gold medal on Saturday. Lose to the Americans and Australia will face either
France or Slovenia in yet another battle for bronze.
