If you love fast‑paced basketball and the hype of the Olympics, you’re in the right place. Here we break down what’s happening in the Olympic 3x3 scene, from game results to player spotlights, so you never miss a beat.

What Exactly Is Olympic 3x3?

Olympic 3x3 is a half‑court, five‑minute showdown where three players per side battle for points. The court is smaller, the shot clock is 12 seconds, and every basket counts double after the 12‑point mark. It’s street‑ball energy meets Olympic prestige, and the format makes games feel like a non‑stop sprint.

Latest Highlights from the Tournament

So far, the United States has shown solid defense, while Serbia’s sharpshooters keep the scoreboard ticking. The most talked‑about moment was the buzzer‑beater by Latvia’s star guard that clinched a surprise win over the host nation. Fans are also buzzing about the new “fast‑break” rule that speeds up transitions.

In the women's division, Australia’s crew pulled off a stunning comeback against Canada, turning a 10‑point deficit into a 2‑point victory in the final minute. The crowd went wild, and the replay is still trending on social media.

Watch out for up‑and‑coming players like Kenya’s 19‑year‑old point guard, who’s already drawing NBA scout attention. His quick cuts and fearless drives are the kind of play that defines 3x3’s street‑ball vibe.

Scoring trends show teams are leaning heavily on three‑point shots after the 12‑point line. Coaches are tweaking lineups to bring more shooters onto the floor, and you’ll see more rain‑makers stepping up in the next rounds.

Beyond the games, the Olympic Village has set up a fan zone with pop‑up courts where you can try the 3x3 format yourself. It’s a great way to feel the adrenaline and maybe spot the next breakout star.
