Australia's Gangurrus have taken their "one shot" to join the Opals in Paris, the women's 3x3 basketball team earning an Olympic debut by winning a qualification tournament in Japan.
Basketball's high-octane half-court version made its debut at the Tokyo Games in 2021 but neither Australia's men or women qualified.
The women at least will be there for the second instalment, the Gangurrus beating Canada 19-16 late on Sunday in Utsunomiya to clinch the FIBA Universality Olympic Qualifying Tournament.
