Discover all the historic sports and news from the 2024 Olympic Games!
Basket
The first appearance of basketball in the Olympic Games dates back to 1904 at the Saint-Louis Games. Quite logically, it was in the United States that this sport was presented to the Olympic public. This is only a demonstration event, which pits three teams from New York against each other.
It was not until 1936 and the Berlin Games that basketball became an official event, seeing the crowning glory of the United States. Until 1976, the competition was reserved for men, and it was only at the Montreal Games that the women's competition appeared. The 3x3 variant becomes an Olympic discipline in Tokyo in 2020 for both men and women.
