LA PALMA (Spain) - France's Alicia Tournebize has left her imprint on FIBA U18 Women's EuroBasket 2025 with a two-handed throwdown in her side's 72-47 win over Belgium in the Third Place Game.
The unforgettable moment came two minutes into the fourth quarter, with France up 61-31 as they forced a turnover, leaving Tournebize all alone in transition.
The 194 cm (6ft 4 in) Tango Bourges Basket player elevated and detonated with the two-handed slam as her teammates roared with approval.
This isn't the first time Tournebize has made headlines for attacking the rim.
She had previously become the first French female player to have dunked when she threw one down last September in the NF2 league (French 4th Division) for Espoirs de Bourges. The center followed that with a dunk playing for Tango Bourges Basket U18 back in February.
Tournebize ended with a double-double of 19 points and 12 rebounds in the win over Belgium, securing France's fifth consecutive podium finish.
