Back and bigger than ever. 🏀🔊 ​

In 2028, 3x3 Basketball will return for its third Olympic Games. In celebration of the growing popularity of the sport, the quota for both the women's and men's teams at LA28 will be 12—expanding from eight teams in years prior. ​

@ClareCosy It's wild! Especially after having both teams make grand finals last year and just missing out to Melb....so the fact it could very well happen again 💔 the girls just need to keep winning 😬😬

[Amanda Jenkins @amandajenko]

@ClareCosy I was actually in the process of replying to your original tweet when daks kicked the 1st one. I wasn't expecting much today post the men's granny. An emotionally thrilling/exhausting wkend for the club so was worried there would be a down game. Stoked they got over the line tho!
