LILLE (France) - There was no slowing down Satou Sabally as she posted one of the all-time great Olympic scoring performances in the women's basketball tournament to propel Germany into the Quarter-Finals.
The forward was on fire and amassed 33 points in the 75-64 success over Japan, making 11 of her 17 attempts. She had 23 at half-time.
Sabally was left shocked in the post-game mixed zone when told about her landing in the all-time top 10 list.
"Honestly, I am honored to be part of that," she smiled.
"But this is not possible without a great team and one that surrounds you and is able to free you up. "I didn't even know about it [the accomplishment]." confessed Sabally.
