Recall that the Russian men’s team, as well as our women’s team, will perform at the Olympics in Tokyo without participating in any training. The Russians made it to Japan on the rights of the respective leaders of the world rankings of the International basketball Federation (FIBA). And in this rating took into account comprehensively not only sporting results, but also the degree of activity of the national federations in the development of the discipline “3×3 basketball”, the activity of countries in hosting domestic and international tournaments. Objectively here, not to mention far-sighted policy of the head of the League of Andrei Kirilenko, who was originally attached to the development of 3×3 basketball and its promotion increased value. Although Sam-Kirilenko is a master of familiar, classic basketball. He many seasons spent in the NBA, won the “gold” of European championship in 2007 and bronze Olimpiady-2012.
the pandemic coronavirus COVID-19 international competition calendar of 3×3 basketball for the season 2020 has undergone tremendous changes for the worse. But hope for the resumption of tournaments under the auspices of FIBA is now.

However, the calendar may change depending on the current situation of coronavirus.
