What are the main differences between European basketball and the WNBA?
Elena Baranova: The WNBA is much more physical and is very competitive. There are no easy games. Each game has to be played. There is no difference between home and away games. All the team are pretty much equal. This is not always the case in Europe. What can be done, to improve European Basketball? Elena Baranova: First of all we have to improve the EuroLeague Women. There are too many teams. We used to have a championship cup where only the champions of every country could participate. It was very prestigious and only the 12 best teams could play. So it was a high level of basketball, which was interesting for fans, players and sponsors. Secondly we need to work better with our young players. They are our future. We have to give them more international experience. What can we do to make women’s basketball more popular? Elena Baranova: We could organise a European All star game. More games should be broadcasted on tv. There should be more club exchanges, so more international tournam
