While Russia are being tipped for a medal, reigning champions Serbia would love to get back on the podium again. Although they will be without the naturalized Danielle Page who has not won her fitness race. Serbia will also miss her singing of her adopted anthem and she will certainly miss her teammates.
Miss you girls! Wish I was there with you...but know you all will show out this summer!! #EuroBasketWomen2017 @KSSrbije 🇷🇸 https://t.co/bAUrKSwxTU

Ukraine are also being tipped for their best-ever finish at the event and they have been looking confident and relaxed, with Taisiia Udodenko doing a great job on giving us an insight.
Laia Palau of Spain will be top of the list at The Final Round in terms of who is being viewed through the various camera lens as she gets ready to retire. It promises to be emotional, so watching her last ever prep camp is fascinating.
Belarus are hoping their big guns will arrive and there is a chance for the next generation to stake their claim when they host a preparation tournament next week.
This cool retro-style poster to promote the tournament caught our eye and it will be interesting to see how Belarus do, with some people predicting their demise after a decade of success.
Meanwhile there has been a varied and eventful program of preparation for Slovenia's hopefuls which has included being 'models' for the day.
We have to give top marks to Tina Trebec for those socks and certainly something that may have also went down well with soccer heavyweights Juventus, who met with the Italian squad.
Finally, some people think being an athlete can be boring outside of the actual action, with a lot of downtime.
But Czech Republic duo Ilona Burgrova and Veronika Vorackova are putting the lid on that myth. Everyone loves bubbles - don't they?
