Olympic debutant esteems coming back as DBB standout.
For the first instance, Germany's female basketball squad will grace the Olympic Games. Star player Satou Sabally, who has been absent since the qualifiers due to a wound, is nearing her return. In Paris, the 26-year-old has outlined her objectives.
Basketball pro Satou Sabally is optimistic that she'll be competing in the Olympics after her shoulder operation. Asked how close she is to a return, the Berliner stated in Los Angeles, "Very near - to an Olympic comeback." It's unclear if Sabally will debut in the WNBA for the Dallas Wings prior to the French trip. "I need to talk with the doctors," she said. In the morning before the Wings' away bout against the L.A. Sparks, Sabally performed with the team and undertook practices minus a ball, only to temporarily leave the court for stretching.
Sabally twist her shoulder at the Brazilian qualifying competition and underwent an operation soon afterwards. Since then, she's been recuperating. "I prepare myself daily for it because I genuinely need to work out hard so everything falls into place, so I can play as part of a team," she said. "I'm making an effort to focus solely on my training. Competing in the Olympics is a fantasy that will become a reality and it's truly a great honor to put on the German jersey."
For the women's national team, it's their inaugural Olympic appearance in history. Both the men's and women's teams of the German Basketball Federation will be in the Olympic tournament, which starts at the end of July. The men's team is regarded as a potential medalist as global champions.
Sabally's goal for the women's squad is to "acquire knowledge," but her ambitions run deeper: "We can make a statement, so I don't think folks imagined we'd even be at the Olympics - and now we're here and we can bring fertile dreams to life."
