Six of the last seven Olympic gold medals went to the United States, but this year the world's largest basketball nation is shaking worryingly.

At the beginning there was a bitter defeat against France.

Is there a surprise looming at the Summer Games in Tokyo?

A winner will be determined between July 25th and August 7th.

The German selection is only considered an outsider.
