Mongolia’s men and Australia’s women won gold in the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup 2017 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on 29 October.

In the men’s category, the Mongolian hosts had a tough route to the final. In the semi-final that went into overtime, Mongolia beat an impressive Australian team who had made their way through the tournament from the Day 1 qualifying draw.

Mongolia met New Zealand in the final and turned on theatrics for the home crowd. The atmosphere was electric as the two teams remained within almost 2 points throughout the game. Mongolia pulled away in the final minutes and won 19-14, thanks to the dramatic playing of MVP E.Dulguun and the scoring of G.Tsenguunbayar.

Mongolia’s E.Dulguun was named MVP of the FIBA 3×3 Asia Cup after leading Mongolia to the title. He was joined by New Zealand’s Alonzo and Australia’s Lucas Barker in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on 29 October. E.Dulguun, who finished 5th in scoring with 31 points, led Mongolia to the continental title before the home crowd in Ulaanbaatar. The 25-year-old guided the team during the whole tournament.

3×3 Basketball tournaments will be included in 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Teams from 15 countries have so far qualified for the competition.
