D’Tigress crash out of Olympics after quarterfinal loss to US

The Nigerian national women’s basketball team D’Tigress have crashed out of the Paris 2024 Olympics after losing to their United States counterparts in the quarterfinal.

D’Tigress put up a good fight on Wednesday night but were stopped by world No.1 USA in a highly electrified fixture.

Coach Rena Wakama masterminded the Nigerians’ massive improvement at this year’s summer games.

Though, D’Tigress’ exit from the tournament marks a historic achievement as they became the first African team to ever reach the Olympics quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, the United States will face Australia in the semi-finals on Friday. They will be aiming for their 10th Olympics Gold medal.
