French basketball star Victor Wembanyama said Saturday’s defeat by the United States would motivate him and his teammates to go for a gold medal at the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Even though France also lost to Team USA in the Tokyo final in 2021, Wembanyama remains optimistic: “We have diamonds coming out of our country, so we have every chance. If it wasn’t this time it will be the next.”
