Satou injured her shoulder in the middle of the Olympic qualifying tournament. So, she called up AT and asked for advice on how to play with an injured shoulder. And it worked!
I love seeing that W sisterhood in action! Satou and AT have never been on a team together. So I love that Satou can still call AT up for advice even though they've never been teammates.
She trash talked Brazil's best player out of the building.
Satou clawed and scraped to qualify Germany for the Olympics by any means possible.

I really feel for Kamilla Cardoso. I know this must be a really challenging and stressful week for her. It's a lot of pressure to carry a whole country's expectations on your shoulders.
Satou knows exactly what it feels like to not deliver the results your country expected you to deliver. That feeling sucks. And that's why Satou did what she did today. She did not want to feel that again. She was not going to leave the tournament empty-handed. She got the German women's basketball national team their first ever ticket to the Olympics.
Now it's time for Kamilla to bottle up all those feelings and save them for her next matchup with Satou...
