Location | Aomi Urban Sports Park, Koto, Tokyo | |
Participants | 32 from 8 countries | |
Format | Robin robin tournament, followed by single elimination. |
There was no clear favorite among the women as four different nations had won the last four World Cups, and the United States was also considered strong with their team of WNBA players. Just before the tournament began, however, American star Katie Lou Samuelson had a positive COVID-19 test and could not play, being replaced by Jackie Young.
The USA women won the round-robin pool, although they did suffer one surprising loss to Japan. Behind them, China, Japan, and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) team had 5 wins and 2 losses and advanced. The top six of the eight teams in the round-robin pool advanced, with two quarter-finals among the 3rd–6th place teams, while the first two teams in the round-robin advanced directly to the semi-finals.
China defeated Italy and France defeated Japan in the quarter-finals, advancing them to play ROC and the United States, respectively. The USA-France match-up was close, with the Americans winning by only 18-16, while ROC comfortably handled China, 21-14. In the final, the Americans beat the ROC Team, 18-15.
