    NANTES (2016 FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament) - Here are the four games to look forward to on Day 5 of the 2016 FIBA Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament (WOQT) in Nantes, France (click here to watch the games).

    Spain v Korea 


    At first glance, Spain are favourites to advance to Rio, but the way this Korea team has been shooting the ball deserves respect from all opponents who come their way. 

    Turkey v Cuba


    Turkey have played impressive all-around basketball during the Group Phase in wins over Argentina and Cameroon. However, at Thursday's shoot-around session, the Cubans reminded everyone that they are "Guerreras" (Warriors in English) and will be ready to fight for a ticket to Rio 2016.   

    Belarus v China


    China head coach Tom Maher has said that this is a 50-50 contest although he feels his team has a chance to advance. Belarus will enter the clash looking to return to the Olympics for the first time since 2008. 

    France v Argentina


    Tournament hosts France needed a strong fourth quarter in order to see off New Zealand in their second and last Group A game on Tuesday. By the time they take to the court on Friday, they will have recharged their batteries thanks to a full two days off. The Argentineans will be well rested too, but have they got enough energy and composure to face the home side and partisan crowd?
