Two former University of Utah basketball stars are two wins away from a gold medal at the Paris Olympics.
At the very least, Michelle Plouffe and Paige Crozon will have a chance to win a bronze medal on Monday during the final day of competition in 3x3 women’s basketball.
The opportunity comes after Plouffe and Crozon helped Canada reach the semifinals, going 4-3 during pool play before winning big in a play-in game to secure their spot in the medal rounds at the Olympics.

Canada vs. Germany in 3x3 women’s basketball semifinals
Monday will be the second time Canada and Germany have played during the 2024 Olympics. Germany beat the Canadians 19-15 on the third day of pool play.
During pool play, each team played every other team once, seven games in total.
In Canada’s case, they went 4-3 in pool play. In addition to losing to Germany, the Canadians’ other two losses came against the United States and Spain, the two teams in Monday’s other semifinals.
Unlike the four-point loss to Germany, though, Canada lost to the U.S. and Spain in overtime on a walk-off 2-point winner.
In addition to Plouffe and Crozon, the Canadians are represented by Katherine Plouffe, Michelle’s twin sister, and Kacie Bosch.
