Victor Wembanyama has stated that with France, their sole aim is the gold medal at the upcoming Olympic Games.
The San Antonio Spurs player emphasized that anything other than the gold medal would be considered a failure for the ‘Tricolores’ when it comes to the Olympics.
“Any other result besides winning the gold will be a failure. I think it’s very achievable. I would prefer to play and beat the USA with their first team at the Olympics, rather than the second or third,” said Victor Wembanyama.
The rising star of the Spurs is indeed playing exceptionally well in the current NBA season, as evidenced by his average of 20.7 points and 10.4 rebounds per game.
As a reminder, France is in Group B with Canada, Nigeria, and Australia.
