Venue | China Disability Sports Training Centre |
Location | Beijing, China |
Start date | 23 October 2017 |
End date | 28 October 2017 |
Competitors | 14 teams (men's competition) 4 teams (women's competition) from 14 nations |
The 2017 Asia Oceania Wheelchair Basketball Championships for men and women were held at the China Disability Sports Training Centre in Beijing, from 23 to 28 October 2017. The men's tournament was won by the Australian Rollers. Iran came second, and Japan overcame Korea in the bronze medal game to come third. [1] [2] [3] In the women's competition, China defeated the Australian Gliders in the gold medal match, while Japan defeated Iran in the bronze medal. [4]
The competition was held at the China Disability Sports Training Centre in Beijing. This is a purpose-built centre for disability sports. Opened on 28 June 2007, it was the first facility in China entirely devoted to disability sports training, and is the largest of its kind in the world. The Chinese Paralympic team used it as its training and preparation centre for the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing. The entire complex is wheelchair accessible, with large elevators and wide halls. [5] [6]
The competition was held from 23 to 28 October 2017. Fourteen teams contested the men's competition. The teams were divided into four pools:
The teams in each pool played a round robin competition. The top team in Pool A then played the second in Pool B, the top in Pool B played the second in Pool A, the top in Pool C played the second in Pool D, and the top in Pool D played the second in Pool C in the quarterfinals. The winners then played in the semifinals, and the winners of the semifinals played in the gold medal match. [6]
The prize for the top four teams was admission to the 2018 World Wheelchair Basketball Championships in Hamburg, Germany. [6]
In the women's competition, there were only four teams, so they formed just one pool, and went straight into the semifinals. Only two positions were available for women's teams from Asia-Oceania in Hamburg, where the women's competition will be held concurrently with the men's. [6]
