As reported by Because of Them We Can, South Sudan, the youngest country in the world, made a remarkable debut at the Paris Olympics by securing its first-ever Olympic basketball victory.
After qualifying as Africa’s top finisher in the World Cup, South Sudan triumphed over Puerto Rico with a 90-79 win. Despite a rocky start, including the wrong national anthem being played, the team used the setback as motivation.
Coach Royal Ivey and player Nuni Omot emphasized the significance of their historic win and their determination to continue making an impact as they prepare to face Team USA next.
