Fire Alarm Forces 2 a.m. Evacuation at Women’s Basketball World Cup Teams’ Hotel
- Early Sunday morning, a fire alarm forced players and coaches to evacuate the hotel for the Women's Basketball World Cup in Berlin at around 2 a.m., with evacuees returning about an hour later.
- Australia coach Sandy Brondello reported that no fire occurred; instead, someone had triggered the emergency alarm button in the hotel elevator, causing the false alarm.
- Turkish coach Andrea Masson said his team managed only three hours of sleep, while Australia forward Ezi Magbegor noted the disruption was "out of our control."
- Australia defeated Turkey 87-71 in the first game of the day, suggesting the interrupted sleep did not diminish their competitive performance.
- The Americans avoided the early morning evacuation entirely, as the team stayed at a different hotel during the Basketball World Cup tournament.
