What's surprising to me is the lack of skill and athleticism on display. I watched Canada vs. France womens 3v3 and EVERY outside shot wasn't even close. The only baskets from either team were layups.

I expect new Olympic sports to take some time for the quality of competition and skills to improve, however basketball isn't new.
