D’Tigress head coach Rena Wakama was full of excitement after her side sealed a place in the quarter-finals of the women’s basketball event at the 2024 Olympic Games.
The African champions outclassed the world number five Canada 79-70 in their last group game.
Wakama’s side won two and lost one of their three group games.
D’Tigress made history as the first African team to claim a place in the quarter-finals in the history of the Olympics.
“It’s surreal and I don’t think it’s going to hit me yet for another couple of hours,” Wakama told FIBA.com.
“I am proud of my girls and I have pushed them so hard. I have pushed them harder than anyone can even imagine. It’s because I know what they can do and we did that today and we showed them who we are.”
