What is the “olympic preparation group” ? An initiative dated June 6, and applied only to women’s basketball by the FFBB, following the excellent results achieved by the France 3×3 team. “The French women’s 3×3 team occupies the world’s first place in the Ranking FIBA and can aspire to win a medal in Paris”contextualizes the press release from the FFBB. « A As of September 1, 2023, eight players will evolve under federal contract for a period of ten months.. Basically, the federation is requisitioning the eight best 3×3 talents from the clubs for the coming season, so that they can train with future Olympic teammates. “The LFB clubs concerned will thus have the possibility, on an exceptional basis, of replacing the released player with a player not trained locally”. Yeah, sort of a call up. Citizen’s Day with a little more hype.
Thus, Eve Wembanyama was called by coach Yann Julien, replacing Marie-Michelle Milapie. The latter has accepted the proposal of a foreign club for next season. The problem ? The FFBB only compensates the requisition of a player in French clubs.
Eve Wembanyama does not discover the discipline of 3×3, since she won the silver medal with the France U21 team during the Nations League 2022. The 21-year-old winger took her first steps on the circuit principal during the Women’s Series last week in Bordeaux, and will continue to learn over the next ten months within the Olympic preparation group. At his side, Laëtitia Guapo, Myriam Djekoundade, Hortense Limouzin and Marie-Eve Paget, vice-world champions a few weeks ago.
Arrived 4th at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, the Blues had not gone far from winning a medal. With the creation of this professional group to prepare the competition upstream, thehe objective is clear: win gold in Paris next year. The 3×3 basketball tournament will take place at Place de la Concorde from July 30 to August 5. It’s a real medal chance for France.
