The French won gold at the 3×3 basketball world championshipin Antwerp, Belgium, Sunday June 26, 2022. Les Bleues beat the Canadians (16-13) at the end of a final which they largely dominated, in particular thanks to the success in shooting of Myriam Djekoundade, to win the first title of world champions in their history.

It is a consecration for this team which had never climbed higher than on the third step of the podium. Incidentally, the French took their revenge in the semi-finals (17-16) on the Chinese, who had deprived them last year of Olympic bronze at the Tokyo Games.
