The country was so excited that its women’s basketball team won the African national championship and earned a spot on the Olympics that Maiga-Ba, a member of the national team, has more than just loyal fans waiting for her return home next week.

“The president (of Mali) got us all houses,” she said. “They are being built for us over there, for the whole team. So for winning the championship, I got a house.”

Thanks for posting that O][K! I'm happy that her team is in the Olympics; I didn't even know they qualified. I hope they make it through a few rounds!
