Great Britain's women's basketball coach Tom Maher is adamant that his side can beat Russia tomorrow.

Maher's team suffered a late 73-65 defeat to Canada yesterday evening in what was their first ever outing at an Olympic Games.

However, having recently come up against the Russians in a test event, Maher believes that he saw nothing during that encounter for his players to fear.

"We're familiar with Russia and their game. We know what to expect. We're going to make it a battle," he told Team GB's official website. "We have to come out swinging against Russia. We've played them. We know we can beat them, and get another two wins."

Team GB have also been grouped with France and Brazil.
