Latvia’s basketball team finally produced a strong moment in World Cup qualifying, winning in Riga on Sunday. The result is one of the main items in Delfi’s roundup of the past 24 hours in sport.
The roundup also points to comments from former national-team basketball player Rolands Freimanis, who spoke openly during the MVP discussion about players turning down national-team invitations.
Another Latvian success came in world disc golf, where Rainers Balodis secured a silver medal. The achievement was notable, though the account says it came with a bitter aftertaste.
The roundup also flags Kristaps Porziņģis’ status with the national team and money in Riga football among the subjects worth following.
