Italy's basketball team have decided
to take the knee to show their opposition to racism and their
support for the Black Lives Matter movement at the Olympic
qualifying tournament in Belgrade and started out by doing so
before their first game against Puerto Rico on Thursday.
The Azzurri were meant to have played Senegal on Wednesday but
the African team has been excluded because of several COVID-19
cases among players and staff.
