With one week remaining before the opening ceremonies in Rio, Venezuela finalized their men's basketball roster Friday, and one Anthony Perez has made the 12-man cut. The team just finished a swing of friendlies through the United States to help coach Nestor "Che" Garcia whittle down his Olympic players, closing out their tour with a 80-45 loss to Team USA.
Perez joins Ole Miss track alum Antwon Hicks as two Rebel Olympians competing for countries other than the U.S. Phenom shot-putter Raven Saunders will also travel to Rio with medal hopes, as will her family who raised money in her hometown of Charleston, S.
