The Belgium women’s national basketball team defeated Spain, 79-66 in the 2024 Olympic quarterfinals in Paris, France on Wednesday afternoon.
After Australia defeated Serbia earlier today, it made things all the sweeter to see two Washington Mystics guards in Jade Melbourne (for Australia) and Julie Vanloo (for Belgium) have a chance to win a medal in this tournament.
This game was also a slugfest between two former Mystics players as Emma Meesseman battled in the post against Megan Gustafson, who was averaging 17 points and 10 rebounds for the Spanish heading into today’s contest.
Now for the game itself, this was another contest where the outcome of this game was never in doubt.
