A few hours after Vincent Collet’s boys, the girls of the French team also took on the monster Team USA in the Olympic Games final.

They came close to achieving the feat, and Victor Wembanyama knows what made the difference.

The French basketball teams were under a certain amount of pressure before the start of the Olympic Games, and while not everything was perfect during the tournament, Vincent Collet’s boys and Jean-Aimé Toupane’s girls did the Blue jersey proud.

With two silver medals, there is now no doubt that our country is just behind the United States at the world level.

Despite everything, in both cases, fans are entitled to have some regrets.

Victor Wembanyama and his teammates were only 3 points behind Team USA before Stephen Curry’s legendary hot streak, while Gabby Williams was only a few centimeters away from sending her team into overtime… Roll on 2028 for the rematches.

In addition to these valiant performances, the French also distinguished themselves by their proximity.

We vibrated with the girls on their final. We hadn’t had the chance to see another match during the entire competition, and I was surprised by this commitment and the physical side of the match.

I have the impression that the final result was played on different criteria than us, the men. It was much more the physical side that made the difference for the girls.

For the boys, when you see Victor Wembanyama or Guerschon Yabusele, you understand that the physical gap no longer really exists with Team USA.

For the girls, however, there is still a long way to go, and according to Wemby, the final would have been decided on that in the last minutes.

No matter, even in defeat, these 24 talents were able to make us dream.

The girls of the French team managed to reduce the gap with Team USA, as the boys have done for a few years.

If it was still a little tight for these Olympic Games, let’s hope for at least a gold medal in 2028.
