Japan’s men’s and women’s 3x3 basketball squads left the Tokyo Olympics wanting more.
The men’s team fell on Tuesday in the quarterfinals to the eventual champion Latvia by a score of 21-18, while the women's squad lost to France 16-14, also in the quarters, bringing an end to their respective four-day battles in the first 3x3 Olympic tournament.
After their final games were over, each team was devastated over their failure to reach the podium and Stephanie Mawuli of the women’s team had a tough time getting back on her feet after their final contest at Aomi Urban Sports Park.
