The other two quarterfinals were played on Wednesday and Czechia looked ready to spring an upset early behind Petra Holesinska and Eliska Hamzova. Spain kept pushing in the second half though and a brilliant game from Raquel Carrera with a big effort from Aina Ayuso was enough for their 88-81 win. The second game was close in the first half, but Belgium had a lead and halftime and then quickly built on it behind another masterclass from Emma Meesseman for an 83-59 win over Germany.
The semifinalists will continue their fight for a medal on Friday while one spot is up for grabs in World Cup qualifying between Lithuania and Turkey in the consolation bracket. If either team wins while the other team loses in their next game, then the spot will go to that winner. If they match results, then the spot will be determined by a head-to-head matchup in either the 5th or 7th place game.
