Previous Olympic basketball winners

Since the beginning of the first Olympic Games in 1896, Olympic basketball has been one of the high-profile events. Whether it is classical basketball or women's basketball, every Olympic Games will produce a new basketball winner.

The first Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896, but there were no basketball events at that time. Basketball first appeared at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. At that time, the U.S. men's basketball team won the championship in one fell swoop and became the first Olympic basketball championship team in history.

At the 1948 London Olympics, the U.S. men's basketball team won the championship for the second time. Since then, they have achieved unparalleled results in men's basketball. They won eight consecutive championships from 1960 to 1992. Among them, the final at the 1972 Munich Olympics is considered to be the most controversial game in men's basketball history, and the U.S. team won the silver medal by narrowly losing.

Women's basketball first appeared at the 1976 Montreal Olympics. So far, the U.S. women's basketball team has won 7 gold medals in the Olympics and only twice silver medals in 19 competitions. It is known as the overlord of women's basketball.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, China men's basketball team relied on waves of wasp attacks to defeat strong enemies all the way, and finally won the third men's basketball Olympic medal in history. This is also the most glorious moment in the history of China men's basketball team.

Basketball competitions at previous Olympic Games have become the focus of attention of sports fans, and every competition will produce outstanding basketball winners. Whether it is men's basketball or women's basketball, basketball teams from all over the world have demonstrated their strength and passion at the Olympic Games.
