    MIES (Switzerland) - With six editions of the FIBA U17 Women's Basketball World Cup in the books, there are plenty of players fighting for the title of having posted the best ever individual performance.

    We've pushed the rewind button back as far as the inaugural edition in 2010 and went through each subsequent tournament to come up with a super six leading contenders. 

    Now it’s up to you to pick which one was the best via our Fan Vote below.

    Toby Fournier - Canada (2022)

    Group Phase v Korea: 32 PTS / 17 REB / 5 AST / 3 STL / 2 BLK

    This was a truly monumental display from Fournier, who racked up a superb double-double with a monstrous 32 points and 17 boards. She also rounded out a fantastic display with an al-action 5 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks to accumulate a jaw-dropping performance efficiency valuation of 46. But it was THAT dunk that also captured the imagination when she went from throwing one down in the warm ups with her teammates, to doing it in a game!

    Maria Camila Alvarez - Colombia (2018)

    Group Phase v Belarus: 35 PTS / 10x 3PT / 6 AST

    This was absolute fire from Alvarez who lit it up for Columbia. It's not often in the international game that somebody reaches double-digits for three-point shots, but she sunk 10 of them en-route to 35 points against Belarus - also handing out 6 assists. Although her team lost 79-75 in overtime.

    Xu Han - China (2016)

    Quarter-Finals v Spain: 18 PTS/ 18 REB / 5 BLK

    A towering performance from the towering Han was pivotal to China grinding out a 55-51 Quarter-Finals success against Spain as the center broke home hearts. Now one of the most instantly recognizable ballers in the senior game, the China ace showed what was to come six years ago with a stellar 18 points and 18 rebounds in that game. She also had a fantastic five blocked shots too.

    Lauren Cox - USA (2014)

    Final v Spain: 20 PTS / 12 REB / 8 BLK

    It's the great performance that few people remember because it was overshadowed by the 40-points dropped in the 2014 title game by Angela Salvadores. Yet if it was not for the strength of Cox, USA would have relented against Spain and not sneaked their way to gold in a tight victory. She finished with a staggering 8 blocked shots to go with her stellar double-double of 20 points and 12 rebounds.

    Angela Salvadores - Spain (2014)

    Final v USA: 40 PTS / 4 REB / 4 STL / 3 AST

    Described by many as a performance for the ages and potentially the best of all-time at youth level, Salvadores sets the standard for the poll with her epic 40 points. She almost single-handedly unseated USA to land the title for Spain in a stunning show during a classic gold medal match-up. She also had 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 3 assists for good measure and is the only player to have been crowned MVP without being on the championship team.

    Olivia Epoupa - France (2010)

    Semi-Finals v Belgium: 19 PTS / 11 REB / 5 AST / 3 STL

    This was a sensational Semi-Finals performance from Epoupa. Despite being the smallest player on the court, the livewire guard posted an incredible display to inspire a 59-49 success for host nation France in a big derby against Belgium. She claimed a sparkling double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds, also handing out 5 assists and grabbing 3 steals.
