This qualification, the CATS owe it to the composure of Antonia Delaere, who scored a three points at 15 seconds from the end of the regulation time, while the Belgians were carried out by two points after having conceded an improbable 21-5 in the first nine minutes of this fourth quarter. A final stop, a rebound from Linskens and a frank lance transformed by the Belgian interior later, the qualification for the final was ratified.
Before this flash stroke of Delaere, it was Emma Meesseman (15 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists) and Julie Vanloo (15 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists) who had worn the team, while Julie German finished with 11 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists.
A fourth assured medal
After bronze medals in 2017 and 2021, the Belgian Cats had conquered the European title for the first time in history two years ago in Ljubljana, already against Spain.
Spain was titled four times at the Euro, in 1993, 2013, 2017 and 2019, by defeating France each time in the final. She was also in money in 2007 and bronze five times in 2001, 2003, 2005, 2009 and 2015.
