Prior to 2004, European Championships were held every two years, which meant players born in the “wrong” year were only eligible to participate in one event in each category, while others could play two. We set out to reform this by introducing European Championships every year at the U16, U18 and U20 levels for men and women in both Division A and B. The system, now in its third year, has taken full affect and without question has been a tremendous success. George Vassilakopoulos FIBA Europe President Our main hesitancy in implementing this new system was whether a national federation could participate in six different competitions annually. For larger countries, we knew this wouldn’t be a problem, but we were concerned that smaller countries wouldn’t be able to provide this number of teams. Our secondary concern was finding enough organisers to host the competitions. In 2006, we had an all-time high in terms of team participation. We had the problem not of finding organisers, but of choosing from too many organisers as there were bids to host our youth competitions from throughout Europe. I would like to thank all of our national federations for the work they have carried out in developing youth players and making our competition format a success. Without their efforts, this book would not exist. Happy reading, George Vassilakopoulos FIBA Europe President Dear Basketball Friends, It is amazing how much our youth competitions continue to grow. From 2004 to 2005, we witnessed incredible growth in terms of interest in our youth competitions and I am pleased to say that this trend has continued in 2006. The evidence for this growth can be seen through traffic recorded on fibaeurope.com. Nearly 2.3 million visitors came to fibaeurope.com during the time when youth competitions were held (July 7 - August 20). This represents a 270% increase in visits from 2005. Nar Zanolin FIBA Europe Secretary General There is good reason for this increased interest. I had the pleasure of traveling to eight of our 14 youth competitions this past summer and witnessed some unbelievable basketball. Buzzer beaters, incredible individual performances and remarkable team play were all components of an exciting 2006 youth season. After travelling through Europe during the summer youth schedule, I then headed to Japan for the FIBA World Championship. Europe’s dominance was on display as all nine European countries in the competition advanced to the round of 16. Six of the eight countries in the quarter-finals as well as gold and silver medallists represented our continent. Part of the reason for this success was due to the commitment that FIBA Europe and our member federations have made to developing youth basketball. A number of players that participated in our youth competitions were key contributors to their team’s success at the FIBA World Championship. The third edition of the youth yearbook is a wonderful way to savour the memories from this past year and get a glimpse of the future stars in our game. Nar Zanolin FIBA Europe Secretary General 4 Dear Basketball Friends, 2006 has been mainly a year of consolidation for our Youth Competitions. I am also very pleased to report that not only have we managed to consolidate, but we have witnessed a lot of enthusiasm in terms of increased numbers of participants and countries wishing to host our events. Asterios Zois FIBA Europe Youth Commission President In total, 191 teams and some 2,300 players participated in FIBA Europe youth competition in 2006. An even more encouraging number is that 46 out of 50 national federations entered at least one youth team into FIBA Europe competition. On the administrative side, following the FIBA Europe General Assembly in Munich last May, a new Youth Commission was set up for the 2006-2010 term of office. The new Youth Commission will work on the basis of a concrete Action Plan that it established at its first meeting, held in Vierumäki, Finland in October. The Action Plan foresees the continuity of the current successful youth activities, but with an additional effort to encourage innovation and new promotional activity in youth Participants at the 5th International Camp of Kolindros basketball. The fundamental principles of the system for FIBA Europe’s Official Youth Competitions (holding a competition for each official age category every year, two divisions with promotion and relegation, official games only during the summer, etc) have been widely accepted and do not need to be modified. Therefore, the Youth Commission will now look at correcting some technical issues in the competition system. However, the big picture will see the Youth Commission focus on other important competition aspects, such as the general organising conditions and the promotion. The U14 age category will take a front seat in terms of Youth Commission activity in the coming years. The number of official or officially recognised and supported events will definitely increase, and the conditions linked to them will be improved. An important feature in this respect is the division of this category in two sub-categories: U14 to U12 and U11 and younger. The category U11 and younger could also be called Mini 5th International Camp of Kolindros basket, thus clarifying the until now not always clear age framework that encompasses Mini basket. In addition to the above, the Youth Commission has renewed its commitment to continue the progress which has already been made, but also to try and find new ways and concepts for the overall promotion of youth basketball. As such, the Youth Commission is always open to any innovative and progressive ideas and proposals from any origin. However, in the Youth Commission we never forget that the real basketball takes place on the court. Therefore, I want to thank all the participants in our Youth competitions - players, coaches, referees, officials and supporters - that gave us so much pleasure in 2006. Enjoy reading about them in the present Youth Yearbook! Asterios Zois President of the Youth Commission of FIBA Europe 5 OSTCHEM U20 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN 6 OSTCHEM U20 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN OSTCHEM U20 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN Led by their 1987-born generation, Serbia & Montenegro triumphed at the 2006 Ostchem U20 European Championship Men in Izmir, Turkey. Serbia & Montenegro have groomed a young group of players who have become used to winning gold for their national team. In 2003 they finished in top position at the U16 European Championship Men in Nevsehir, Turkey and in 2005, won gold at the U18 level, on home soil in Belgrade. In 2006, Serbia & Montenegro defeated home side Turkey to claim their first ever gold medal in the U20 category. It was a cruel finish for Turkey, who have developed an outstanding 87-born generation of their own led by upand-coming stars Cenk Akyol and Ersan Ilyasova. However, Akyol and Co. have become used to second place and finished as runners-up to Serbia & Montenegro in 2003, 2005 and 2006. PRELIMINARY ROUND While Turkey boasted a full complement of players and by far the deepest squad in the tournament, Serbia & Montenegro were forced to travel to Izmir without the services of small forward Nemanja Aleksandrov who was rehabbing a knee injury. In addition, small forward Tadija Dragicevic, who had been Serbia & Montenegro’s top scorer in pre-tournament warm-up matches, was also forced to sit out the first three games due to injury. Nonetheless, Aleksandrov and Dragicevic’s absences did not prevent Serbia & Montenegro from breezing through preliminary round play. Latvia, Belarus and Croatia all fell as Serbia & Montenegro topped Group A with a 3-0 record. It was neighbouring country Croatia who ran the eventual champions closest, succumbing 78-72. In spite of the loss, Croatia came in second place behind Serbia & Montenegro and advanced to the quarter-final round. While Serbia & Montenegro went about their business with quiet efficiency, Turkey roared out of the blocks. Turkish sports fans are always passionate about their national teams and it was no different in Izmir. Every time Turkey took to the court, a packed out arena was guaranteed, and the home side gave the partisan crowd exactly what they wanted with a crushing 83-45 defeat of Germany in their opening contest. Turkey followed up the Germany win with a 66-60 victory over France, but slipped to a 60-63 loss in the final group game against a disappointing Russian side, which failed to make it past the preliminary round. Ersan Ilyasova (Turkey) While Russia dropped out, France confirmed top spot in Group C thanks to a 99-66 demolition of Germany while Turkey finished in second place. IZMIR, TURKEY 14 – 23 JULY 2006 7 Group B was the most evenly balanced of all the preliminary round groups. Italy, Slovenia and Israel all finished with 2-1 records which set up an elimination game on the final day between Slovenia and Israel. Israel could afford to lose the game and still qualify for the quarter-final round, but only by a margin of two points or less. In a close game, it was Slovenia who came through as victors, 73-68, enough to nose ahead of Israel in the standings and take the second quarter-final spot along with Italy. Group B also went down to the final day with Greece, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Spain all within striking distance of the quarter-final round after two days play. Greece ended Bulgaria’s hopes in dramatic fashion as Dusan Sakota’s last second three-pointer lifted them to a 78-77 victory. Lithuania were the second team to qualify after squeezing through to a 92-88 win over Spain. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Serbia & Montenegro continued to impress in quarter-final round action. They welcomed Tadija Dragicevic back into the fold and began the group with a 101-68 demolition of Lithuania. France proved a tougher prospect and took Serbia & Montenegro to the wire, before succumbing 67-65. An 85-78 win over Slovenia ensured that Serbia & Montenegro advanced to the semi-finals with a 100% record. Slovenia grabbed second place in the group behind some strong play from Emir Preldzic, one of the tournament’s surprises. Preldzic, a 204-cm small forward, was an unknown quantity going into the competition and had yet to represent his country at any level. Luigi Da Tome (Italy) He impressed everyone in Izmir with his all-round skills and averaged 22 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.6 assists as Slovenia compiled a 2-1 record in the quarter-final round to earn a spot in the semi-finals. Turkey bagged a semi-final berth with strong showings against Italy (75-53) and Croatia (91-72). Turkey slipped to an 80-78 defeat against Greece in the final game of the quarter-final round, but the result was academic as Turkey had already ensured a place in the semis. Italy rebounded quickly from their mauling at the hands of Turkey, and wins over Croatia and Greece saw the Italians advance to the semi-finals. SEMI-FINALS Serbia & Montenegro and Italy got the semi-finals underway with a doubleovertime thriller. Italian guard Luca Vitali was the first of several players to display nerves of steel in the clutch when his two free throws tied up the game at 70-70 with 19 seconds to go. Ivan Maras had a chance to steal the win for Serbia & Montenegro but his last second three-pointer was off the mark and the game went into overtime. Maras made amends for the miss in the first extra period and his three with 11 seconds to go sent the game into a second overtime. The second extra session belonged to Serbian guard Nenad Mijatovic. He scored the final six points of the contest for his side as Serbia & Montenegro outscored Italy 11-5 to take the game 89-83. There was no such drama in Turkey’s semi-final against Slovenia. Trailing by seven points at halftime, Turkey quickly took the lead in the third period and turned on the style in the final 10 minutes to win 96-62. Turkey Head Coach Nihat Izic OSTCHEM U20 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN 8 FINAL Turkey looked to be the favourites going into the final game, but just as in 2003 and 2005, they came up short against Serbia & Montenegro in the final. In a game that was close throughout, Serbia & Montenegro edged ahead in the final minutes. Dragicevic finally found his form in the final and hit a game high 18 points, including a free throw with 15 seconds remaining that preserved a fourpoint lead for Serbia & Montenegro, 62-58. Turkey were unable to add to their scoreline and a Nikola Pekovic dunk capped a deserved gold medal display from Serbia & Montenegro. Slovenia’s Emir Prelzdic finished his tournament in style as he scored 29 points and grabbed eight rebounds in his side’s bronze medal win over Italy.

PRELIMINARY ROUND Georgia’s tournament hopes did not get off to the most glamorous of starts when they dropped their opening game against Finland, 87-81. Tournament MVP Viktor Sanikidze’s performances were always a barometer for the Georgians. He scored 15 points and grabbed one rebound in the loss against Finland. In Georgia’s next two games against Iceland and the Netherlands he tallied 46 points and 29 rebounds as his side won both games handily. It was Finland who grabbed pole position in the group at the end of the round with a 3-0 record, while Georgia took second place. Poland took charge in Group A with three successive wins. In what was probably the most competitive of all the groups, Poland defeated Ireland by seven points and Great Britain by five, and neither of those teams qualified to the quarter-final round. Instead it was Belgium who advanced in second place thanks to two impressive defensive efforts. The Belgians held Great Britain to just 39 points and Ireland to 42 in their two group wins. Group C was similarly well balanced. Czech Republic finished on top with a 2-1 record but only beat the Slovak Republic by one point (69-68) in their first game thanks to Kamil Svrdlik’s buzzer beater. The Czechs then lost to Switzerland, 77-74, before defeating FYROM in the final game to guarantee a spot in the quarter-final round. FYROM finished in second place. Home side Portugal began Group D with an 81-80 win over Austria. Unfortunately for the Portuguese it would prove to be their high point of the tournament and defeats against Ukraine and Sweden preventing them from advancing to the quarter-final round. Austria rebounded from the opening day loss to beat Sweden and Ukraine and take first place in the group, while Ukraine finished in second. Maxym Ivshyn (Ukraine) LISBON, PORTUGAL 14 - 23 JULY 2006 15 QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Georgia ensured a place in the semi-finals with victories in their opening two games against Czech Republic and Ukraine. Sanikidze was particularly dominant, scoring a tournament-high 35 points against the Czechs and 27 against Ukraine. Georgia’s two victories set up a decisive final game against Poland. Poland had beaten Ukraine but lost against the Czech Republic and needed to defeat Georgia to make it to the semi-finals. The Poles produced a red hot final quarter to get the job done and scored 21 points in the game’s final seven minutes to win 85-73. Finland continued to impress in the quarter-final round as the only team in the competition with an unbeaten record. FYROM fell in the first game, 77-68, and Finland were not troubled against Austria (92-65) or Belgium (79-55). FYROM and Austria went into the final game of the group with a place in the semi-finals at stake. It was FYROM who came out on top as their 86-77 win propelled them into the semis. SEMI-FINALS Darko Sokolov led FYROM to a 77-72 win over Poland in the first semi-final. Niels Marnegrave (Belgium) In a desperately close game, Sokolov, a 190 cm guard, scored five points in the final 80 seconds as FYROM turned a tie game (72-72) into victory. Georgia ended Finland’s unbeaten run in the semi-final with a 74-63 victory. Sanikidze made up for his relatively weak performance in the first game between the two sides by registering 27 points and 14 rebounds. FINAL Although both Georgia and FYROM had earned promotion to Division A by winning their semi-finals, there was still plenty at stake in the gold medal game. It was the Georgians who managed to put together the stronger finish to the game after the scores were tied, 73-73, at the 30-minute mark. Sanikidze was once again magnificent for Georgia and tallied a game high 30 points and 14 rebounds, but it was George Tsintsadze who came up big for Georgia down the stretch. The score was 88-88 with just under three minutes to play and Tsintsadze scored seven of his team’s final eight points as Georgia ran out winners, 96-88. Finland claimed the bronze medal with a 91-75 defeat of Poland.

As Maria Stepanova, Ilona Korstin and Olga Arteshina approach their prime, an influx of youth talent could quickly be helping the senior national team. PRELIMINARY ROUND Russia didn’t have an easy path to the quarter-final round based on difficult competition from Group C in the preliminary round. The Russians opened with a five-point win over Turkey, easily defeated Poland and then suffered a 66-63 setback to Spain, despite Elena Danilochkina’s 21 points and 11 rebounds. Spain finished tops in the groups thanks to the all-around play of Silvia Dominguez. In a win over Turkey, the 166-cm guard demonstrated her complete game by finishing with 10 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, two shy of a triple-double. Bulgaria came out on top in Group A, as they were one of two countries to finish with a perfect 3-0 record in the preliminary round. The Bulgarians secured first place on the final day by holding off Greece 53-52. Greece advanced to the quarter-final round despite finishing with a 1-2 record. The Czech Republic and Finland also held 1-2 marks, but Greece prevailed in the tie-breaker to earn a spot in the final eight. Group B was the most intriguing in the preliminary round. Hosts Hungary got off to a quick start and finished 3-0. After struggling to get past Israel, Hungary gained momentum and confidence by upsetting France, the defending U20 champions, by the score of 73-70. Hungary trailed for most of the game and were down by as many as 15. But with the home crowd behind them, Hungary fought back and a basket from Barbara Semsei completed the comeback bid and put the Hungarians up for good. France, led by tournament Most Valuable Player Isabelle Yacoubou, managed to hold the second place in the group. Meanwhile, Olexandra Gorbunova, the Most Valuable Player from the U18 and U20 European Championships in 2004 and the U20 European Championship in 2005, was once again brilliant with 19.6 ppg and 9.6 rpg. However, she wasn’t able to parlay her individual performance into team success as Ukraine finished 1-2. Israel lost all three of their decisions and were thus headed to the classification stage. Finally in Group D, Germany and Belgium both advanced to the quarter-final round with records of 2-1. Isabelle Yacoubou (France) Germany had to hold off Italy in their final game to advance. Margret Skuballa made sure her side prevailed by registering 25 points. SOPRON, HUNGARY 7 - 16 JULY 2006 21 Belgium got off to a great start by easily beating Germany and Italy to ensure their place in the last eight. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Russia was in dominant form in the quarter-final round, winning all their three games by an average margin of 26.6 points. In their opener against previously unbeaten Hungary, Russia had four players tally double-digit scoring as they cruised to an easy 82-55 victory. The two sides would meet again later in the competition with much more at stake. Hungary rebounded from the difficult loss and beat Belgium and Greece in their next two match-ups to earn a place with Russia in the quarter-final round. The defending champion French side took a significant step towards re-claiming their title by beating Spain in their opener and then Germany before falling to Bulgaria. Spain, after their opening quarter-final round loss, got back on track with a 61-56 win over Bulgaria, setting up a clash against Germany with a spot in the semi-finals for the taking. The Spanish jumped out to a 27-11 lead and Germany never could rebound from that as Spain prevailed 69-46. SEMI-FINALS The semi-finals featured two exciting come-from-behind wins. Hungary pulled off an impressive upset win by edging France 87-85 in overtime. Rita Köllo (Hungary) France led by 10 midway through the third quarter, but Hungary battled back. A layup from Barbara Semsei with 47 seconds left in regulation tied the game at 75. In the extra session, Semsei came up with the game-winning points by hitting a pair of free-throws with seven seconds left on the clock to put her side up 87-85. France couldn’t get off a final shot before the buzzer as Hungary secured a place in the final. Meanwhile, Russia trailed by as many as 12 in the first half against Spain. They fought back and managed to even the score going into the fourth quarter, and surged ahead behind the play of Elizaveta Rusakova, who scored eight of her 18 points in the final stanza. Her four free throws in the final minute capped a 22-15 fourth quarter for Russia, which clinched the win. FINAL Russia had easily defeated Hungary in the quarter-final round, but this time they would be in for a far greater challenge. The host country jumped out to a 9-4 lead, but the Russians responded with a 25-12 run to take a 29-21 lead midway through the second quarter. Hungary then outscored Russia 10-3 to close the half trailing by just one, 32-31. Elizaveta Rusakova opened third by making a lay-up to spark an 8-0 Russia run to open up a nine-point lead. From there, Russia never looked likely to win the game. Russia prevailed in the competition thanks to a balanced scoring attack, which featured four players averaging in between 10-12 ppg. As a result, they raised the gold medal at the U20 women’s level for the third time in five years. Yacoubou scored 21 points and pulled down 14 rebounds to help France win the bronze medal game over Spain, 64-55.

Participating at the U20 Women’s level for the first time in their history, Belarus won the 11-team Division B title in Druskininkai, Lithuania and earned automatic qualification to Division A. The competition featured two groups in the preliminary round, followed by single elimination beginning at the quarter-finals. PRELIMINARY ROUND Throughout the competition, Belarus relied on the experience and leadership of Anastasiya Verameyenka and Yuliya Dureika, two players that were a part of the Russian club Nadezhda in the 2006 EuroCup Women. Dureika averaged a team-best 13.1 ppg, while Verameyenka, tallied 12.6 ppg for Belarus to go along with 9.6 rpg – fourth best in the competition. The duo helped Belarus to four wins in five games in Group A of the preliminary round. Serbia & Montenegro and Great Britain also had 4-1 marks, while Slovenia was the fourth team from the Group A to advance to the quarter-finals despite a 2-3 record. The Slovak Republic was the lone unbeaten side in Group B and advanced along with the Netherlands (3-1), Lithuania (2-2) and Portugal (1-3). QUARTER-FINALS Dureika had 19 points and Verameyenka pulled down 14 rebounds as Belarus earned a spot in the semi-final by beating Lithuania 73-51. Unbeaten Serbia & Montenegro jumped out to a 27-9 first quarter lead en route to a dominating 81-44 win over Portugal. The Slovak Republic improved to 5-0 in the competition with a 64-56 victory over Slovenia, while Great Britain prevailed against the Netherlands 63-57 to round out the final four. SEMI-FINALS Serbia & Montenegro earned promotion to Division A following a 77-68 win over Great Britain in the semi-finals. Jelena Dubljevic had a terrific offensive performance with 27 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals for the victors. Belarus beat the previously unbeaten Slovak Republic 66-59 to set up a gold medal clash against Serbia & Montenegro. Dureika had her best individual performance with 22 points. Time-out Ireland FINAL In a see-saw contest, Belarus clung to a one-point lead in the gold medal game with just under four minutes to play in the third quarter. Dureika scored four straight points and Alena Rynkevich added four more during an 8-0 run which gave Belarus some breathing room. They increased their lead to double-digits in the fourth quarter as Serbia would get no closer than six points. Belarus ultimately prevailed 66-58. Verameyenka controlled the game down low and finished with 15 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks. The Slovak Republic soundly beat Great Britain 84-52 to earn a place on the podium as the bronze medalists.

This sentence directly applies to France and Serbia & Montenegro at the Umcor U18 European Championship Men in Greece. Six years after Tony Parker and France won gold in the U18 European Championship in Croatia, a new generation of stars led by Nicolas Batum and Adrien Moerman carried the French to the gold medal in Amaliada. However, it was certainly not a smooth ride. France at one ever to time had a 1-3 record, which included their first loss Iceland. But they responded with an impressive 86-43 win over host nation Greece that would mark the start of their run to the gold medal. Meanwhile, Serbia & Montenegro seemed on track to defend their 2005 U18 title by easing to four convincing double-digit wins. However, upset losses to Spain and Turkey in the quarter-final round left Serbia & Montenegro playing for fifth place. PRELIMINARY ROUND The story of the preliminary round was Serbia & Montenegro’s crushing of opponents behind their daunting front line of Miroslav Raduljica (210 cm) and Vladimir Dasic (206 cm). The 2005 U18 European champions won their three preliminary games in Group B against Greece, Russia and Slovenia by a combined 251-180, an average differential of 23 points per game. With Serbia & Montenegro already qualified for the next round, Greece and Russia matched-up in the teams’ final preliminary round match-up. The winner would advance to the quarter-final round, while the loser would be playing for ninth place. A close and intense contest throughout, Greece ultimately prevailed 76-71 thanks in part to the play of Alexandros Sigkounas, who scored seven of his 18 points in the final two minutes of the game. Almost equally impressive were Lithuania and Spain. The Baltic giants won their first three games in Group A, including their matchup against Turkey on the final day of preliminary round play. Nicolas Batum (France) Turkey had entered play with a 2-0 record, but Lithuania with their balanced scoring and stingy defense defeated an athletic Turkish squad 70-55. Both sides advanced to the quarter-final round. AMALIADA, OLYMPIA AND ARGOSTOLI, GREECE 18 – 27 JULY 33 Spain finished Group D preliminary round play with a perfect 3-0 mark, highlighted by a 94-85 victory over France. The French on the other hand looked nothing like a gold medal team. Despite a 1-2 record, including a setback to Iceland, France were able to get through to the quarter-final round by virtue of their tie-breaker advantage over Iceland and Croatia. In Group C, Italy and Bulgaria finished 2-1 and would both advance to the quarter-final round. Bulgaria’s Chavdar Kostov was the offensive star of the preliminary round as he averaged over 30 ppg. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND The Lithuanians would continue their impressive play by defeating France, Italy and Greece to advance to the semi-finals. The win over Greece thwarted the host nation’s gold medal aspirations as the Greeks finished with a 1-2 record. Following their opening round loss to Lithuania, something changed among France. They came out and walloped Greece 86-43 and then downed Italy 8272 to earn a place in the semi-finals. Serbia & Montenegro continued to look invincible by winning their first quarter-final round game in Group F 93-82 over Bulgaria despite 39 points from Kostov. That would mark the end of Serbia & Montenegro’s run as they fell to defeat in their next game against Spain. Serbia & Montenegro and Turkey then matchedup with a place in the semi-finals at stake. Ogün Sevinc (Turkey) Ironically, the night before the two countries would play in the gold medal game at the U20 level, with Serbia & Montenegro winning. Berklay Sahillioglu hit a clutch three-pointer to put his side ahead by four late in the fourth quarter and then iced the game by hitting four free-throws in the final minute as Turkey won 63-58 and avenged their colleagues defeat in the U20 gold medal game. Spain was the most dominant team in Group F as they won all three of their games, the last one an 89-49 demolition of Bulgaria. SEMI-FINALS In a re-match from their preliminary round match-up, a completely different French team from a psychological standpoint took the court against Spain. It was a back and forth contest through the first three quarters before France pulled ahead with a fourth quarter surge and eventually won 80-67, giving Spain their first loss of the competition. Nicolas Batum scored 11 of his 24 points in the final stanza and started France’s fourth quarter run. With the French trailing by two to start the quarter, Batum dunked and then made a lay-up down low to ignite an 11-3 run that would eventually see the French outscore Spain 35-20 for the quarter. In the other semi-final, Lithuania continued their unbeaten streak by holding off a late Turkey run to win 87-80. Martynas Gecevicius, who finished with a team-high 19 points, punctuated Lithuania’s hot shooting first half by draining a three-pointer from the top of the key with three seconds remaining, putting Lithuania in command 48-30. Victor Claver (Spain) UMCOR U18 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN 34 Baris Hersek scored 25 of his 33 points in the second half to get Turkey to within two points in the final minutes of the game, but Lithuania held on as Gecevicius hit a jumper and then made four free throws down the stretch to ice the game. FINAL The French revolution culminated with France’s 77-72 win over Lithuania in the gold medal game. Leading 44-40 at the half, France took a double-digit lead (64-49) in the third quarter thanks to a 16-2 run. Tournament MVP Nicolas Batum scored six of his 11 points during the stretch and France’s defense and rebounding allowed them to hold on in the fourth quarter. For the game, the French out-rebounded Lithuania 53-34. None was more critical that Ludovic Vaty’s offensive rebound and put-back that gave France a seven-point lead with 1.40 to go and Lithuania would not be able to get closer. The bronze medal game started on a solemn note with a moment of silence. The day before, Guillem Raventos, who took part in the Spanish team’s U18 preparations, died at the age of 17 in a motorbike accident in Badalona, Spain. Determined to win the contest for their fallen friend, Spain put forth a strong second half display to prevail 92-83.

There was a high level of national interest in the competition. As tournament MVP Vlad Moldoveanu snatched the final rebound in the gold medal game with two seconds remaining and threw the ball in the air, a joyous celebration broke out in front of the 2,000 spectators at the standing room only Transylvania Arena in Sibiu. A national television audience was also able to see their side lift the gold medal. PRELIMINARY ROUND The path to the top of the podium was rather clear for Romania. They finished the competition with a record of 8-1. Their lone loss was a 63-59 setback to Estonia in preliminary round play. Both countries advanced to the quarter-final round from Group D. Behind the play of 215-cm center Yannick Driesen, Belgium finished 3-1 in Group C, good for second place. A big man with a soft touch from outside, Driesen scored 32 points in a game against the Netherlands. A very athletic Sweden team led by Brice Massamba and Jeffery Taylor also finished 3-1 in Group C to advance. Poland went 4-0 in Group B, outscoring their four opponents by a combined 302-212. Austria won three of four games to take second place. Without doubt, the most dominant player in the opening round was England’s 208-cm forward Dan Clark, who tallied 23.3 ppg and 20.8 rpg in his team’s opening three games in Group A. Clark’s play helped England to a perfect 3-0 record, while Portugal secured second with a 2-1 record. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Romania finished 3-0 in the quarter-final round, which included an exciting 67-64 victory over Sweden. The Swedes led by five points in the fourth quarter, but things turned when Massamba, who scored a team-high 16 points, picked up his fifth personal and fouled out at the 8:41 mark in the final stanza. Dan Clark (England) Romania battled back and two field goals from Titus Nicoara down the SIBIU, ROMANIA 28 JULY – 8 AUGUST 41 stretch put Romania ahead. Moldoveanu iced the game with his free throw shooting in the final minute to clinch Romania’s place in the semi-finals. The loss prevented from Sweden from playing in the last four. England qualified for the semi-finals by going 2-1 in the quarter-final round. The clinching victory was an 85-80 win against an undersized Austrian side. Clark had 20 points and 17 rebounds as England out-rebounded Austria 61-22. Portugal and Estonia made it to the semis by finishing first and second respectively in Group F. SEMI-FINALS The tournament was a coming-out-party for Moldoveanu. The 210-cm forward averaged 19.9 points per game to go along with 7.8 rebounds for the competition. He had his best individual performance in the semi-finals, when he registered 30 points and 14 rebounds to carry his team to a 77-54 win over Portugal. Estonia secured their place with the top flight next year thanks to a convincing 95-65 win over England in the semi-finals. Estonia’s stingy defense held Clark to only three points. Clark had entered play as the leading scorer and rebounder in the competition. The well-balanced Estonian offense featured four different players that averaged double-digit scoring for the competition. FINAL Estonia had beaten Romania in the opening round, but the host nation earned revenge by taking down Estonia 67-54 in the gold medal game. Dragos Pana, who entered the game averaging five points per game, saved his best performance for the last quarter of the final. Pana scored 20 overall in the contest, 12 of which came via four three-point field goals in the fourth quarter that allowed Romania to surge ahead of Estonia. Portugal withstood a furious comeback from England to win the bronze medal game by the score of 76-74.

Tamara Abalde, Laura Nicholls, Laura Herrera and Alba Torrens formed the core of Spain’s U16 teams which won European titles in 2004 and 2005. In 2006 those four players made the leap to the U18 level and retained their 100% success rate in FIBA Europe youth competition with another gold. PRELIMINARY ROUND While Spain ended up claiming the gold medal, it is fair to say that the team did not perform up to its full potential until the latter stages of the competition. Spain were drawn in Group D with Turkey, Russia and Sweden and this group proved to be by far the toughest and most surprising of the preliminary round. Sweden pulled off a massive upset on day one of the competition to defeat Russia 65-55. Spain, on the other hand, faced a very talented Turkish side and were lucky to come away with a 65-64 win. Sweden continued their giant killing ways on day two with a 49-48 win over Spain, while Turkey were unlucky to lose another close game, 68-66 against Russia. The final day’s play set up an intriguing match-up between Russia and Spain with a spot in the quarter-final round on offer for the winner. Spain finally showed the home fans a glimpse of the team’s talent with a convincing 73-65 win to send Russia tumbling out of the tournament. Sweden showed that their first two victories were far from flukes and beat Turkey 54-47 to maintain a 100% record and finish in top spot in the group. France is always a force to be reckoned with in junior hoops and the team in Tenerife cruised to a 3-0 record in Group A. Lithuania claimed second place in the group with a 2-1 record. Serbia & Montenegro dominated Group B, underlined by a crushing 79-27 defeat of Germany on day one. They were not seriously tested by Belarus or Hungary and easily posted a 3-0 record. Hungary were humbled 72-43 by Serbia & Montenegro on the last day’s play, but wins over Belarus and Germany had already assured them of a place in the quarter-final round. Czech Republic travelled to Spain without their best player Romana Hejdova, but it didn’t stop them from qualifying from Group C in top place. Under the tutelage of EuroLeague Women champion Gambrinus Brno’s assistant coach Milan Veverka, the Czechs cruised to a 2-1 record in preliminary round play. They dropped the last game to neighbours Slovak Republic, but qualification had already been assured before tip-off. The battle for second place in the group proved to be a dramatic one. Poland and Bulgaria met on the final day of preliminary round action with a place in the quarter-final round at stake. Sonja Petrovic (Serbia) The game went right down to the final seconds and Maria Tzankova hit a three- TENERIFE, SPAIN 21 – 30 JULY 2006 47 pointer with just two seconds remaining to lift Bulgaria to a 61-58 win. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Spain began to hit something like top form in quarter-final round play. They were far from dominant, but narrow wins over France, Hungary and Czech Republic ensured that the Spanish would advance to the semi-finals in first position. Competition for the second semi-final spot was far more intense and ended up a fight between Czech Republic and France. It was the Czechs who took the initiative with a 66-63 win against France. The defeat was a killer blow for the French, who had an eight-point lead going into the final five minutes of the match and looked to be cruising to a win. But Katerina Elhotova came up huge for Czech Republic in the final minute with two baskets and the win propelled her side into the semi-finals. Serbia & Montenegro cemented their status as tournament favourites with an imperious performance in the quarter-final round. Just as in the preliminary round, no side came close to matching Serbia & Montenegro. Bulgaria went down by 18 points, Sweden were beaten by 24 and Lithuania by 37 as Serbia & Montenegro rolled into the semis. Sweden continued their fairytale tournament with second spot in the group and also advanced to the semi-finals. SEMI-FINALS Laura Nicholls (Spain) Serbia & Montenegro sailed into the final of the competition with yet another dominant display against Czech Republic. The Czechs were no match for an awesome performance from Serbia & Montenegro’s starting five which scored 68 of the team’s 81 points in an 81-48 win. In the second semi-final, Spain gained revenge over Sweden for their preliminary round defeat with a 64-45 win. Defense was the key to Spain’s success and they held Sweden to just 26% field goal shooting. FINAL Serbia & Montenegro were the undoubted favourites going into the final game and had been consistently impressive during the whole tournament. Spain on the other hand had displayed erratic form and never really hit their stride as a team. All that, however, changed in the final as Spain found the type of form that had led to gold medals in 2004 and 2005. Unsurprisingly it was the quartet of Abalde, Nicholls, Herrera and Torrens who led the way in a superb display to beat Serbia & Montenegro 78-74. The four players scored 53 of the team’s 78 point with Abalde leading the way with 23. In the bronze medal game, Frida Eldebrink scored 10 points in the final quarter to lead Sweden to a 62-57 defeat of Czech Republic.

The win was all the more sweet for the Italians as it guaranteed promotion to Division A just one year after they had been relegated to Division B. Ukraine finished as tournament runners-up and also earned promotion to Division A. PRELIMINARY ROUND A total of 14 teams registered for the competition and were divided into two groups of four and two groups of three teams. Italy, led by talented guard Giorgia Sottana, cruised through preliminary round play in Group A. They saw off Romania, Ireland and England with double-digit victories to finish with a 3-0 record and the top spot in the group. Romania grabbed second place with wins against England and Ireland. Latvia emerged from Group B as the top team and were not troubled in wins over Ukraine, Iceland and FYROM. Ukraine finished in second spot thanks to a 100-65 demolition of FYROM on the last day of preliminary round play. Iceland, who boasted the tournament’s leading scorer and passer in Helena Sverrisdóttir, were also within reach of the quarter-final round, but their 64-57 loss to Latvia on the final day of play left them in third place. Group C went down to goal average between Estonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Portugal, all of whom beat each other to finish 1-1 in the group. Estonia finished on top with Bosnia & Herzegovina second, while Portugal were left in third place and out of the quarter-final round. Croatia and Israel clearly advanced from Group D in first and second place respectively. Croatia finished as group winners with wins over Israel and Finland, while Israel secured second with a 67-55 defeat of Finland. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Italy highlighted their credentials as title favourites with a crushing defeat of Italy in their quarter-final round opener, 65-39. The Italians got a scare against Estonia when Kati Rausberg scored nine points in the last 2:37 of the game in a furious Estonia rally. But Italy held on to win 5349 and finished off the quarter-final round with a 79-60 victory over Ukraine to claim a spot in the semi-finals. Ukraine and Estonia were left to battle it out for the second semi-final berth. Valeria Battisodo (Italy) Oleksandra Prystupa, Ukraine’s 205-cm center, produced a superb performance in the contest between the two sides. She finished with 31 points and 18 rebounds, including a basket with 35 seconds to play which lifted her side to a 72-69 win. CHIETI, ITALY 21 – 30 JULY 2006 53 The victory propelled Ukraine to a 2-1 record and second place in the group, while Estonia fell to third. Latvia wrapped up a semi-final spot with two wins in their opening two quarterfinal round games in Group F. Aija Putnina capped an outstanding 30-point, 12-rebound performance with a three-point play in the last minute to give Latvia a 63-61 win against Bosnia & Herzegovina. Latvia then eased to a 70-58 win over Croatia before suffering a 72-70 reverse against Romania. Nonetheless, a place in the semi-finals was already secured before the Romania game and Latvia topped the group. Croatia finished in second place by virtue of their final day 67-60 victory over Bosnia & Herzegovina. SEMI-FINALS Italy produced a come-from-behind display par excellence to beat Croatia 64-56 in the first semi-final. The Italians trailed for most of the fourth quarter and were down 52-46 with 4:36 to play before mounting an impressive comeback. Italy grabbed the lead on an Arianna Zampieri three-point play and went on to outscore Croatia 11-4 in the final 2:42 to complete the win. Ukraine came up with a similarly strong finish to beat Latvia in the second semifinal. The game was there for the taking in the fourth quarter with the score at 56-54 for Ukraine and 7:57 to play. But Latvia shot just 1-of-12 to close the game, while Ukraine went on a 10-2 run to cap a 68-56 win. FINAL The final proved to be just as close as the semis. The score was tied at 57-57 with just under three minutes to play, but it was Italy who executed down the stretch to take the game. Valeria Battisodo hit a jump shot to give Italy the lead and on the next play and Italy then converted a Ukraine turnover into another bucket to open up four-point lead, 61-57. Ukraine were unable to answer and Martina Fassina sealed the gold medal for Italy with two free throws inside the final 10 seconds. Croatia claimed the bronze medal with a 66-51 defeat of Latvia.

The 15-year-old point guard etched his name in the record books with his dazzling all-around performance (see page 66). Not to be lost with Rubio’s individual heroics is Spain’s gold medal triumph. While Spain’s senior national team established themselves as the number one country in the world by winning the World Championship in Japan, Spanish basketball fans and officials have to also be encouraged by the showing of their youth. A bronze at the U18 category to go along with U16 gold gives reason to believe that Spain will remain as one of Europe’s elite basketball programmes now and for years to come. And based on his performance this past summer, one would have to assume that Rubio will be a part of this potential future success. PRELIMINARY ROUND Rubio & Co. got off on the right track in the tournament by winning their first three games in Group B of the Preliminary Round. Rubio quickly made his presence known in the tournament by recording a triple-double (24 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists) as Spain opened with a 91-76 victory over Russia. Following the win against Russia, Spain edged Slovenia 90-83 and then thrashed Germany 90-63. Russia responded to their opening game loss by defeating Germany in a close contest, 71-68. Andrey Semenov led Russia in points and rebounding with 16 and 10 respectively. Russia booked their place in the quarter-final round with a convincing win over Slovenia. While Spain was solid in the Preliminary Round, no team was more dominant than France. The French won each of their Group D games in convincing fashion: 67-44 over Ukraine, 78-56 against Israel and 115-65 against Iceland. Israel and Ukraine began play in their final preliminary round match-up with a record of 1-1, meaning the winner would advance to the quarter-final round, while the loser would be headed for the classification stage. In what turned out to be one of best games in the Preliminary Round, Israel’s Chen Menachem Zigdon tied the game at 63 by hitting a clutch three-pointer with three seconds left in the game. Yotam Shiran scored eight points in overtime as Israel outscored Ukraine 14-7 in the extra session to clinch second place in the group. Liran Moran finished with a game-high 33 points. Turkey also emerged undefeated by winning three straight in Group A. Ricard Rubio (Spain) Italy, after suffering a loss to Turkey in the opener, rebounded with wins against Portugal and Latvia to book their place in the last eight. LINARES, ANDUJAR AND MARTOS 11 – 20 AUGUST 2006 59 The most competitive action came from Group C. Lithuania got off to a strong start by beating Croatia by 19 points, but then dropped their next two contests. Greece, after losing their first two games, delivered the final blow to Lithuania by beating the Baltic giants 80-65 on the final day of Preliminary Round play. Meanwhile, Croatia clinched a place in the quarter-final by winning their next two games after the opening game setback. In their final match-up against previously unbeaten Serbia & Montenegro, Croatia went on a 22-14 run to secure a 77-69 win. Filip Sepa led Serbia Montenegro into the quarter-final round by scoring 19 and 17 points respectively in a 97-86 win over Greece and a 78-70 victory over Lithuania. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Rubio continued to dazzle in the quarter-final round as he finished with 22 points, 20 rebounds, eight assists and six steals in Spain’s 95-79 quarter-final opening win against Serbia Montenegro. Against France, Rubio was only needed for 26 minutes of play as Spain cruised to an 85-63 win. Four players tallied double-digit scoring for the Spanish. In a 79-72 win over Italy, Rubio scored 20 points, including a clutch jump shot with 21 seconds remaining that helped Spain preserve the win, capping a 3-0 Quarterfinal Round record for the Spanish. Dejan Musli came up with a huge performance in Serbia & Montenegro’s 78-69 win over Italy. The 212-cm center had 20 points and 19 rebounds. Serbia & Montenegro soundly defeated France 98-68 to secure second place in the round and a place in the semi-finals. Andrey Semenov (Russia) Russia won all three of their quarter-final round games, highlighted by a close 8179 win over Turkey. Vladimir Pichkurov was the hero for Russia as he scored a game-winning lay-up with eight seconds remaining. Croatia registered a 2-1 record, good for second place. Tomislav Zubcic came up with 23 points, nine rebounds and seven blocks in an 81-57 win over Israel. SEMI-FINALS Quadruple double became a new term that entered the youth history books after Rubio had 19 points, 10 rebounds, 13 assists and 11 steals in Spain’s convincing 106-82 win over Croatia. Many of Rubio’s assists were dished out to Alberto Jodar, who finished with a game-high 33 points. In the other semi-final, Russia led Serbia & Montenegro by just one point (73-72) with 1:59 remaining. Russia surged ahead thanks to a 9-2 run to close the game and set up a re-match with Spain in the final. Teymuraz Babunashvili scored seven of his team-high 20 points during the spurt. FINALS In front of 3,000 spectators in Spain, Russia seemed like they were on course for an upset special, especially after Babunashvili hit a difficult three-point shot from the left corner to put Russia ahead 87-84 with just under two seconds remaining in regulation. While the Russians were celebrating an apparent win, Rubio instructed a teammate to inbound the ball. He caught the ball on the run, took one dribble, double pumped in between two defenders and somehow made a half court banker to tie the score and send the game into overtime. The three-pointer gave Rubio his 37th point on the evening and he would have more to add. Much more. Leon Radosevic (Croatia) 60 TERMOSTEPS U16 EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIP MEN In the first overtime, Rubio scored six points, including a pair of free-throws with 37 seconds left which tied the game at 99 and eventually forced a second extra session. Spain scored the first six points in double overtime on a jumper and lay-up from Rubio and a Julio Sosa basket to go ahead 105-99 with just over three minutes to go. Russia fought back to 105-104, but Rubio broke their momentum by knocking down a jumper to give Spain a 107-104 advantage at the 2:29 mark. The game would turn into a free-throw shooting contest over the final minute of play, with Russia hitting 2-of-4 and Spain converting 3-of-4. Fittingly, Rubio would ultimately seal the game for Spain by hitting a pair from the charity stripe with 17 seconds left put Spain up four, 110-106. Rubio scored eight points in the double overtime, which gave him 51 on the night. He also added 24 rebounds and 12 assists. This stat line would be extraordinary under any circumstance, but the fact that Rubio was able to record those numbers in a tightly contested gold medal game that allowed his team to celebrated a title makes it all the more exceptional. Serbia & Montenegro rebounded from their semi-final loss to defeat Croatia 85-69 and claim bronze.

It was a performance for the ages. Ricard Rubio had possibly the best youth competition tournament in recent European basketball history. The 15-year old point guard accomplished unthinkable feats as he single-handedly led Spain to the gold medal at the Termosteps U16 European Championship Men. Rubio is used to standing out – he played the 2006 season with EuroCup champions DKV Joventut Badalona and became the youngest player in the Spanish ACB at just 14 years of age. While representing his country this past summer, Rubio played like a man among boys. For starters, the 192-cm Spaniard led the competition in scoring (23.3), rebounding (12.8), assists (7.1) and steals (6.5). A player recording a triple-double (double-digits in three major statistical categories) in a youth game happens about as frequently as the sight of snow in Madrid. Rubio, a native of El Masnou, Spain, recorded three triple-doubles in the competition! Quadruple doubles simply don’t happen (double-digits in four major statistical categories). But with Rubio, anything is possible and the young star accomplished the feat during the semi-finals, becoming the first youth player to ever do so. He scored 19 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, dished out 13 assists and recorded 11 steals to lead his team to victory in the semi-finals. Normal inclination would tell you that the kid couldn’t do anything more to surpass his historic performance from the semi-finals. But remarkable Rubio did the unimaginable again. He scored 51 points, establishing a record for the most points scored in a youth competition according to archives dating back to 1995. He also notched his third triple double by recording 24 rebounds and 12 assists. Three of the 51 points came in the most dramatic of ways. With his team trailing by three points and just 1.7 seconds remaining, Rubio made a half-court, double clutch three-pointer to tie the game and send it into overtime. Rubio continued to shine in the overtimes. He scored 14 of his 51 points in the two extra sessions. Fittingly, Rubio scored to put Spain ahead for good with a jumper with just over two minutes remaining and then helped seal the game by burying free throws in the final minute. Russia, with one final attempt at getting close with under a minute to go, misfired on a three-pointer. Rubio pulled down the critical rebound, his 24th on the night, and moments later he and his Spanish teammates would celebrate their thrilling double-overtime gold medal game victory. In the process, Rubio capped one of the greatest youth performances in European basketball history.

The Czech Republic and Georgia suffered defeats in the preliminary and quarterfinal rounds, but when it mattered most in the semi-finals, the two squads delivered. PRELIMINARY ROUND The only team to come out of the preliminary round phase undefeated was Bosnia and Herzegovina. Led by the tournament’s leading scorer, Nihad Dedovic, Bosnia & Herzegovina went 3-0 in Group D. Dedovic, a 196-cm point guard, registered the best individual performance of the competition by scoring 44 points in a win 79-65 win over the Netherlands. Of the 44, 24 came via eight three-point field goals. England was the second placed team in Group D with a 2-1 record. Georgia won three of four games in Group A, highlighted by an exciting 62-61 win over Austria. Trailing by one, Tato Chachibaia scored the winning basket with four seconds remaining to lift his side to victory. Austria rebounded from the loss with two wins to notch a 3-1 record in the Group, good for second place. Poland and Finland finished first and second respectively in Group B. Rounding out the last eight were the Czech Republic and Bulgaria, who took the top two spots in Group C. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Bosnia & Herzegovina fortunes reversed in the quarter-final round as they lost all three of their games. The Czech Republic and Georgia matched up in the quarters, with Czechs winning 70-65. Both advanced to the semi-final round with 2-1 records. Austria was the lone country to go undefeated in the quarter-final round, joining second place Bulgaria in the last four. SEMI-FINALS The Czech Republic’s David Jelinek, who averaged 20.6 points per game (second best in the competition), scored 35 points to lift his side to a 90-88 double overtime win over Bulgaria. Jelinek demonstrated the importance of persistence. Kristjan Penjam (Estonia) With four seconds left in a tie game, Jelinek was sent to the line with a chance to TALLINN, ESTONIA 9 – 20 AUGUST 2006 69 win the game if he could make one of the two from the charity stripe. Jelinek missed both, but towards the end of the game, he had a chance to redeem himself. With the Czech Republic in possession and trailing 88-87 in double overtime, Jelinek didn’t let the next opportunity pass him by as he scored what turned out to be the game-winning basket shot with 43 seconds left on the game clock. In the other semi, Georgia sealed promotion to the top flight by beating Austria 7165, thanks in part to Nika Metreveli’s 18 points and 14 rebounds. FINALS In a re-match from five days earlier, the Czech Republic once again came out on top against Georgia by winning 71-65 in the final. The game was close throughout the first half, with the Czech Republic maintaining the lead for most of the game’s first 20 minutes. A 7-0 third quarter run allowed the Czechs to open up a lead and they never trailed in the second half en route to securing the title. Jelinek was again superb as he finished with 19 points. Bulgaria outscored Austria 19-9 in the fourth quarter and won the bronze medal game, 85-75.

So the fact that Spain has won back-to-back-to-back Termosteps U16 European Championship Women is all the more impressive. The Spanish completed the hat trick by going undefeated in the 2006 edition, which included three come-from-behind victories. PRELIMINARY ROUND The first of the comeback wins came in Spain’s opener against Lithuania. Trailing by 10 going into the fourth, Spain responded by outscoring the Lithuanians 25-14 in the fourth quarter. Alba Garcia led the comeback by scoring 11 of her 17 points during the pivotal run. Spain went 3-0 in Group C, while Lithuania won their next two games to finish 2-1 as both countries advanced to the quarter-final round. France won all three of their preliminary round games by an average of 26 points and advanced along with Ukraine from Group A. The Czech Republic were equally impressive by pulling off three wins by double-digit margins in Group D. Belarus won two out of three to also earn a berth in the next round. In Group B, Poland and Serbia and Montenegro finished first and second respectively to make it to the quarter-finals. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND Spain’s surge continued into the quarter-final round as they won all three games, highlighted by a 65-60 win over previously unbeaten France. The balance of the Spanish side was even as all three victories featured a different leading scorer. After their dominance in the preliminary round, France’s slide continued as they lost to Serbia and Montenegro 79-72. Jovna Popovic keyed Serbia and Montenegro’ semi-final clinching victory by scoring 19 points and dishing out six assists. The Czech Republic continued their perfect play in the competition by winning three more consecutive games in the quarter-finals, while Lithuania, despite a 1-2 record, still earned a berth to the final four. SEMI-FINALS In a re-match of their earlier meeting from the preliminary round, Spain defeated Lithuania for the second time. Katerina Bartonova (Czech Republic) The Spanish once again needed a valiant come-from-behind effort to notch the win. KOSICE, SLOVAK REPUBLIC 4 – 13 AUGUST 2006 75 Lithuania led most of the game, but Spain kept knocking on the door and finally took the lead late in the fourth quarter for the time since the game’s opening minutes. Elena Espiau, who entered play averaging 7.9 ppg in her team’s first five games, saved her best performance for when her team needed it the most as she poured in 17 points to lead Spain. The Czech Republic cruised to another undefeated record to set-up a final with Spain that featured two unbeaten teams. Katerina Bartonova, the competition’s Most Valuable Player, had a stellar performance for the Czechs in the semi-finals. The point guard scored 17 points to go along with three assists and four steals for the victors. FINALS Spain had paid close attention to Bartonova throughout the competition and keyed their defensive efforts on the Czech Republic star in the final. The Spanish coaching staff’s scouting and game plan paid off as an aggressive defense limited Bartonova to four points on 1-of-13 shooting. Bartanova fouled out in the fourth quarter and wasn’t on the court for an exciting finish. Spain trailed by as many as 10 in the first quarter as the Czech Republic jumped out to a 14-4 lead. But as they proved before, Spain was not going to surrender in the face of adversity and they actually took the lead back by the end of the first quarter. They led for most of the contest and Marta Tudanca’s lay-up at the three-minute mark of the fourth quarter made the score 75-64 in favour of the Spanish. Aurime Rinkeviciute (Lithuania) The Czech Republic this time showed their comeback abilities by going on a 13-3 run over the next 2:40. Veronika Petrzelova scored eight points during the spurt and her free throw with 20 seconds to go leveled the game at 78. But Tudanca came up with the biggest basket of the game by scoring on a lay-up with 13 seconds remaining to give Spain the lead back, 80-78. Tudanca scored seven of her tournament-best 29 points in the game’s final three minutes. The Czech Republic had one final chance to tie or take the lead, but Adela Filarova misfired with four seconds left as Spain grabbed the rebound and ran out the clock to celebrate the dramatic win. Aurime Rinkeviciute was brilliant in the bronze medal game for Lithuania. She tallied 37 points – the most in the tournament for one game – as Lithuania prevailed 84-72.

Following a bronze medal at the UMCOR U18 European Championship Women, Sweden’s U16 girls earned promotion to Division A by winning the gold medal at the Division B category. PRELIMINARY ROUND The preliminary round featured four undefeated teams: Germany, Italy, Slovenia and Romania. Germany appeared to be the most dominant team in the opening round as they outscored their opponents 305-235. Neither of the unbeaten squads from the preliminary round would be competing for the gold medal. Bulgaria and Bosnia-Herzegovina joined Sweden and Latvia as the second place teams from their respective groups that qualified for the quarter-final round. QUARTER-FINAL ROUND The eventual gold and silver medallists were not the most dominant team in the quarter-final round either. With a place in the last four at stake, Sweden beat Germany 62-48 in the teams’ final quarter-final round match-up. Sweden prevailed thanks to an 18-6 run in the third quarter and thus improved to 2-1. Germany on the other hand dropped to 1-2 and failed to advance to the semi-finals. With wins over Sweden and Germany, Romania clinched first place in the group. In the other quarter-final round group, Italy and Latvia finished first and second respectively with 2-1 records. Semi-finals In Latvia’s 81-60 win over Romania in the semi-finals, tournament MVP Anete Steinberga finished with 19 points and 12 rebounds. Steinberga, a 185-cm center, led the competition with 15.6 points, 10.9 rebounds and a team high 1.6 assists. Meanwhile, in other semi-final, Sweden went up by as many as 15 earlier in the game and then held off Italy in the end, 64-58. Sweden dominated the game down-low, out-rebounding Italy 52-32. Danielle Carter had 13 points and 15 rebounds for the Swedes. FINALS Two teams that had never finished first in the group from the quarter-final and preliminary rounds met for the right to lift the gold. Nika Baric (Slovenia) All early indications pointed to a Latvia win as Sweden trailed by 16 (21-5) after the JYVÄSKYLÄ, FINLAND 2 – 13 AUGUST 2006 game’s first eight minutes. But Sweden fought back and a decisive 22-4 run in the last 10 minutes of the game capped a remarkable comeback which enabled them to win the game 72-62. Sweden had four players tally double-digit scoring, led by Frida Fogdemark who posted 13 points in 15 minutes of play. Romania downed Italy 72-63 to capture the bronze medal.

Luxembourg dominated the competition on their way to a gold medal, compiling a 5-0 record with an average winning margin of 55 points per game. PRELIMINARY ROUND Luxembourg started out the tournament in fine fettle in Group B, outscoring San Marino 23-8 in the first quarter of an eventual 104-39 win. Wales were dismissed in similarly comprehensive fashion before Luxembourg finished the preliminary round with a 77-50 win against Scotland. The Scots grabbed second place in the group and a spot in the semi-finals with wins against San Marino and Wales. Group A consisted of Cyprus, Monaco and home side Andorra. Cyprus quickly established themselves as the team to beat and cruised to a 3-0 record. Despite suffering a 62-35 reverse against Cyprus on the opening day of the competition, Malta recovered to beat Andorra and Monaco and take second place in the group. SEMI-FINALS Scotland overcame a first half deficit to beat Cyprus 59-54 in the first semi-final. Luxembourg dictated play from the tip-off in their 108-31 defeat of Malta in the semi-finals. Malta had no answer for a blitz-like Luxembourg defense which came up with an incredible 42 steals. Luxembourg also grabbed 26 offensive rebounds and dished 25 assists. FINAL Luxembourg finally faced a challenge in the final against Scotland, who they had dismissed easily in preliminary round play. In the first game between the two sides, Luxembourg breezed to a 21-8 first quarter lead on the way to a 77-50 win. In the final, the score was tied at halftime and it was only in the second half that Luxembourg were able to pull away for an 89-65 victory. Cyprus took the bronze medal with a 59-42 defeat of Malta.

PRELIMINARY ROUND Luxembourg was the story of the competition in the preliminary round as they cruised to a 3-0 record. They beat Monaco 77-33 and destroyed Gibraltar 82-28. Their one tight contest was a 59-51 win over Scotland. Lisy Hetting, who led the competition in scoring with 19.4 ppg, tallied 18 in the victory. Scotland also eased to wins over Gibraltar and Monaco to finish with a 2-1 record in the preliminary round. SEMI-FINALS There were no surprises in the semi-finals as Scotland and Luxembourg prevailed over Monaco and Gibraltar respecitvely. Scotland jumped out to a 23-5 lead after one quarter of play and never looked back en route to their 88-43 triumph over Monaco. Luxembourg marched to a 104-23 win over Gibraltar to book their place in the finals. Five players tallied double-digits, with Hetting leading the way with 24 points. The Luxembourg defense held Gibraltar to single-digit scoring in each quarter. FINAL The finals produced a surprise as Scotland defeated Luxembourg 53-48 and earned revenge from their earlier loss. Luxembourg led early on and seemed destined for their second consecutive win over Scotland. But the Scots outscored Luxembourg 22-9 in the second quarter to take control of the game. Mairi Buchan, despite scoring just six points, dominated the game with her defense and rebounding. She came up with 19 rebounds and two blocks and played an instrumental role in Scotland’s team defense which limited Luxembourg to 26 percent shooting from the field. Buchan’s inside presence forced Luxembourg to rely on their perimeter game. As a result Luxembourg shot more three-point field goals (38) than two-points goals (36). Scotland were only able to connect on seven of the 38 attempts from beyond the arc Holly Fillingham sparked the Scotish offense with 14 points. Monaco beat Gibraltar 68-23 in the game for third place.
