Canadian Women's Basketball Resets for 2028 After France Flameout

The Canadian women's basketball team experienced a disappointing Olympic flameout, losing 79-70 to Nigeria and finishing the group stage 0-3. Aiming for a podium finish, they failed to reach the knockout round for the second straight Olympics. Coach Victor Lapena benched veterans in favour of young players, signalling a focus on the 2028 Olympic cycle.
