Olympics
The M en’s Basketball competition
o f the 1992 Olympics will consist o f 12
teams. Q ualification for the O lym pics
is broken into five zones: the Americas,
Europe. Asia, Africa and Oceania. Each
o f these zones is aw arded one auto
matic qualifier. In addition, zones rep
resented by the top six finishers in the
1990 W orld Cham pionships will re
ceive one additional bid.
Since Europe and the Americas
each placed three o f the top six teams in
the W orld Cham pionships, those zones
will have four entrants in the Olympics.
Spain receives an autom atic bid as host
country.
Four teams have already qualified
for the Olympics: A ngola, w innerof the
African Zone Qualifying Tournament;
Australia, winners in Oceania; China,
winners in Asia; and Spain. The re
maining berths were determ ined at the
Basketball Tournam ent o f the A m eri
cas and the Europe Zone Olympic Q uali
fying Tournam ent, which ran concur
rently and finished on July 5. The 12
qualifying teams were placed into two,
six -team pools. The top four teams after
round-robin com petition within those
pools advanced (the results will be p ub
European Qualifying
Tournament
Due to the political unrest in Europe
since the 1990 W orld Cham pionships, it
is difficult to predict which of the 26
teams entered in the European Zone
Qualifying tournam ent in Spain will
advance to the Olym pics. H ere’s a run
down o f the teams w ith the best chances.
Yugoslavia, which dominated both
the Goodwill Games and W orld C ham
pionships in 1990, has seen its team
broken up by the civil w ar in that coun
try. T he team that featured Vlade Divac,
Dino R adja, D razen P etrovic, Toni
Kukoc, Stojko Vrankovic and Zarko
Paspalj will now com pete as three na
tions: Croatia, Slovenia and Y ugoslavia.
O f those three,Croatia (Kukoc, Petrovic,
Radja, Vrankovic) looms as the stron
gest and is still arguably the top team in
Europe.
Y ugoslavia, with Di vac, Paspalj and
g u a rd s P re d ra g D a n ilo v ic and
Aleksandar Djordjevic from European
champion Partizan Belgrade, is also a
contender.

The Soviet Union, gold medalist in
the ’88 Olym pics, is another former
basketball pow er that has seen its team
divided by politics. The former Soviet
Union will now be represented by four
teams: comm onwealth of Independent
S tates (C IS ), E sto n ia , L a tv ia and
Lithuania.
O f those four, CIS and Lithuania
have the best chances of advancing to
Barcelona. CIS features an experienced
team led by Atlanta Hawks forward
Alexander Volkov. Lithuania figures to
join Croatia as one of the most talented
teams in the field, paced by Sarunas
M arciulionis,a6-5 guard w ith thcGolden
Stale W arriorsand 7-3 A rvydaSabionis,
who recovered from several injuries to
have a strong season in Spain this past
year.
Italy, which won the silver medal in
’80, placed fifth in ’84 and failed to
qualify in ’88, needs young forwards
Stefano Rusconi and Ricardo Pittis to
com plem ent guard Antoncllo Riva, who
averaged 29.4 points in the ’90 W orld
Championships.
Germ any, with D etlef Schrcm pf
expected to play and a tall, talented front
line, looms as a dark horse. Greece,
France and Israel should finish among
the top 10.
