Tickets for Basketball 3x3 session BK318 of Olympics 2024

The 3x3 BK318 basketball medal session will take place on 5 August at Place de la Concorde in Paris. The session will include men's and women's gold and bronze medal matches. This event will allow us to learn the names of the new Olympic 3x3 Basketball champions, which will be the second in history.

Basketball 3x3 was included in the programme of the Olympic Games relatively recently. The first medals were played at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. While classic basketball has been an Olympic sport since 1936. In addition to the Russian team, seven other men's teams competed in Tokyo: Serbia, Latvia, the Netherlands, China, Japan, Poland and Belgium. Eight teams also competed in the women's event: Russia, Mongolia, China, Romania, USA, France and Japan. Fans can expect no less interesting confrontations at the basketball medal session at the 2024 Olympics.

Tickets for the Basketball 3x3 session BK318 of the 2024 Olympics are on sale now.

In the women's category, gold was won by representatives of the USA, silver went to Russia and bronze went to the Chinese women. In the men's category, the medals were distributed as follows: gold went to Latvia, silver to Russia, and the Serbs, who were considered favourites, got only bronze.

The 3x3 format differs from classic basketball in the size of the playing court and the number of participants in the team: the court is half the size and there are only 4 players. One athlete is a substitute.

The popularity of 3x3 basketball is due to its contact, dynamism and high speed of play. It is much more entertaining than classic basketball. Everything happens very quickly here, because the team has only 12 seconds to attack!

Another peculiarity of 3x3 basketball is that the coach does not have the usual mentor status. He cannot give advice to the players, announce substitutions and is basically just a spectator of the game.
