Serbia Wins Bronze Medal in Men's Basketball

Serbia won the men's basketball bronze medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics by defeating Germany 93-83, recovering from a narrow semifinal loss to the USA. Nikola Jokic led the Serbian team with a triple-double, scoring 19 points, along with 12 rebounds and 11 assists, marking only the fifth such achievement in Olympic basketball history. Vasilije Micic also contributed 19 points, while Bogdan Bogdanovic added 16. The victory was significant for Serbia, not just for the medal, but as a demonstration of their resilience and unity after their semifinal heartbreak. This win marked Serbia's first Olympic medal since they won silver in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. Germany, despite their earlier success in the World Cup, couldn't recover from Serbia's strong start and ultimately fell short in the bronze match.
