France continues to make great strides in basketball, this time in the 3x3 version, at the iconic Place de la Concorde on temporary courts built for these Olympic Games, very close to the Champs-Élysées.

In a tight match against a historical basketball power like Serbia, France managed to win 22-19 and book their place in the double medal contest. They will play Latvia at 19:00 CEST for a place in the final.

Lithuania, another nation with a rich basketball history, defeated Poland 21-15 to secure a place in the last four of the men's tournament. They will take on the Netherlands at 18:00 CEST.

Both the men's and women's semi-finals and the final will be played in the centre of Paris on Monday. The men's semi-finals begin at 18:00 CEST, with the Olympic gold medal final taking place at 22:30 CEST.

The women's matches will start half an hour earlier. From 17:30 CET, Spain will look to upset the United States, while Germany and Canada will battle it out for a place in the gold medal match at 18:30 CEST.

From 21:00 CEST, the bronze medal matches will take place on the Place de la Concorde, with the medal matches continuing until the competition ends after 22:00 Paris time.

In the women's competition, Germany and Spain booked their places in the semi-finals by finishing first and second in the group stage, thus bypassing the quarter-finals. Meanwhile, the United States and Canada earned their places in the next round by winning their play-in matches.

Germany dominated the group stage, finishing at the top with six wins out of seven games. Their only setback was a narrow two-point loss to Australia, but they quickly rebounded with strong performances, including a decisive victory over Spain on Saturday. This win solidified Janina Pils' team as the top contenders for the title.

Spain, meanwhile, concluded the group phase with four wins, including a 15-18 loss to Germany. Despite this, they were initially in a four-way tie for second place with the United States, Canada, and Australia. However, Spain's fate took a positive turn when France defeated Australia 18-16 and the United States edged out China 14-12. These results allowed Spain to hold onto second place, securing their automatic spot in the semi-finals on their Olympic debut.

The teams that finished in third through sixth place in the group stage were required to compete in the quarter-finals. In the play-in matches, Canada and the USA emerged victorious, securing their spots in the semi-finals. Canada defeated Australia 21-10, while the USA overcame China with a 21-13 win.

On Monday, the semi-final matchups will begin at 17:30 CEST, featuring Spain against the United States. An hour later, at 18:30 CEST, Germany will face off against Canada. After the intense semi-final clashes, the battle for the bronze medal is scheduled for 21:00 CEST, followed by the grand final at 22:00 CEST.
