Serbia Claims Bronze Medal at Paris Olympics, Adding to Their Impressive Basketball Legacy

by time news
With the bronze medal, the third Olympic medal after two silvers in Atlanta (1996) and Rio de Janeiro (2016), Serbia will return from the Olympic Games in Paris to Belgrade.

The “silver” Serbia at the recent World Cup (2023), despite their great disappointment over the loss to the USA in the semifinals, having led by as much as +17 against LeBron James’ team, proved superior to the World Champion Germany in the “small” final at “Bercy,” winning 93-83.

With Nikola Jokić being the MVP (19 points, 12 rebounds, 11 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, and 36 evaluation points), the Serbs took… sweet revenge for their loss in the World Cup final in Manila, Philippines last September and denied Schröder, Franz, and Moritz Wagner their first Olympic medal, which would have been the first in the history of the German men’s national basketball team in seven Olympic appearances. With Serbia now counting three Olympic medals in five appearances.
