In a heart-stopping finale at the Paris Olympics, Germany edged out Spain 17-16 to claim women's 3×3 basketball gold 🥇. Sonja Greinacher became an instant hero, sinking a clutch 2-pointer with 30 seconds left — sealing the win in front of cheering NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki! 💥
Spain's Juana Camilion nearly stole the show with a late-game surge, but Germany's Elisa Mevius and Marie Reichert rallied to tie the game. Greinacher’s ice-cold long-range shot and Spain’s missed buzzer-beater left the crowd roaring. 🎯
Celebrity supporters brought extra drama: Nowitzki waved the 🇩🇪 flag wildly, while Spain’s King Felipe and basketball icon Pau Gasol watched anxiously from the sidelines. 👑🏀
Meanwhile, Team USA bounced back from a rocky start to grab bronze 🥉, with Hailey Van Lith leading a 16-13 victory over Canada. The champs shook off an 0-3 opening streak but fell short in an overtime semifinal against Spain earlier Monday.
