Who were the breakout performers at Paris 2024?
Elise Ramette - Belgium
Identified as one of three unsung heroes after the conclusion of the Group phase in Lille, the big question was whether the guard could continue her eye-catching contributions in the knockout phase. Or, would she fade away and struggle to maintain her newfound level?
Jade Melbourne - Australia
The playmaking spot had a question mark against it for Australia and Melbourne has probably made it her own for the future. She had a really sticky and uncomfortable start as did the Opals in general, with a turnover frenzy against Nigeria in their first game.
Trinity San Antonio - Puerto Rico
Just 20-years-old, the guard was a very bright shining light for Puerto Rico and was one of the main reasons they twice came close to that first Olympic victory. Leading the entire tournament in steals, she showed an appetite for hard work and defense.
Alanna Smith - Australia
Even if Smith is 27-years-old, now a double-Olympian and played in a FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup Final way back in 2018, this was the tournament when she showed she can be a real force on the biggest stage.
Nyara Sabally - Germany
This was the first ever major tournament for Sabally and even if she only played twice because of an injury, she showed that she is not destined to be overshadowed by her sister Satou and will be a leader for Germany too.
