BERLIN (Germany) - Marine Johannes could be on course to break the FIBA Women's World Cup record for triples made in a single tournament after making it rain in the German capital once again.
She was letting it fly from downtown as she made another three scores from deep en-route to 15 points in a 90-61 Quarter-Finals success against China.
It was part of a French display that saw them set a new record for the Women's World Cup Quarter-Finals with 13 made triples.
That came after their recent all-time record-breaking show against Nigeria when they sunk a historic high 22 from long-range. They are also now the first team on record to have scored 12 or more triples in four consecutive games at the Women's World Cup.
Playing at her second Women's World Cup, Johannès has already sunk more three-pointers in Berlin (16) than she did in her debut edition back in 2018 (14 in 7 games).
After impressing against China, she has delivered four straight games with 4, 4, 5 and 3 three-pointers made, respectively. And, with two more games guaranteed, could records be on the cards for the shooting guard?
The all-time record for most three-pointers made (1st table below) may be out of reach, simply because she will play fewer games than those who came before her because of the new competition format.

But she could still make history by setting new highs for three-pointers per game, both for her World Cup career (2nd table below), where she ranks fifth right now, and for a single tournament (3rd table below), where she currently sits second behind Julie Vanloo, who is shooting the lights out at the 2026 World Cup.
