Who Run the World?

You'll find them across Europe, from France to Russia. They're in the Asia-Pacific, and there's even one Down Under.

Not long after competing as one at the Rio Games, the members of Canada's 2016 Womenâ??s Olympic Team are all over the globe, reporting for duty with their pro clubs.

With a new basketball season just around the corner, here's where Canada Basketballâ??s athletes are playing in 2016-17.

LES SIX

No less than half the Olympic team roster is in France, where six members of Team Canada spread across four different LFB first division teams: Miranda Ayim with Basket Landes; Lizanne Murphy with UF Angers Basket; Katherine Plouffe and Shona Thorburn with Nates Reze Basket; and Kim Gaucher and Michelle Plouffe with USO Mondeville.

ROUNDBALL IN RUSSIA

Miah-Marie Langlois is back for her second year in the Russian Women's Basketball Premier League, but with a new team, Enisey Krasnoyarski. Meanwhile, after spending 2015-16 in Australia, Tamara Tatham is also bound for Russia to suit up for Langlois' previous team, Dynamo-Guvd Novosibirsk.

THE LAND DOWN UNDER

As Tatham moves from Australia to Europe, Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe is going the opposite direction. Following a season in Germany, Raincock-Ekunwe is joining the Bendigo Spirit of the Women's National Basketball League.

FIRST-TIME FOREIGNER

Fresh off a great college career at UCLA, Nirra Fields has chosen to spend her first season across the pond in Turkey, playing for Edremit Belediyesi Gurespor of the TKBL.

COMING SOON

Once the Indiana Fever WNBA season wraps up, Natalie Achonwa will depart Indianapolis for South Korea to join KEB Hana, a club in the Women's Korean Basketball League.

BACK IN CLASS

Kia Nurse is the only member of the Olympic Team not playing pro this winter â?? and that's because sheâ??s still in school. The 20-year-old is entering her third season with the Connecticut Huskies, who have won the NCAA championship in each of her first two year.

OTHERS TO WATCH

Several more Canadians will be ballin' overseas in 2016-17. Development Team member Dakota Whyte is making her professional debut with Lulea, the three-time defending Swedish womenâ??s national basketball champions. Another first-year pro, Laura Dally, who played with the Women's National Team at the 2016 Edmonton Grads International Classic, has signed with German club Avides Hurricanes. Also in Germany is Wumi Agunbiade, who has joined TSV 1880 Wasserburg after being in Italy last season. Adut Bulgak, a standout performer on Canada's silver-medal winning 2015 FISU Games team, will suit up for the Women's Korean Basketball League's Shinhan S-Birds. Finally, when their respective WNBA seasons conclude, Kayla Alexander (currently with the San Antonio Stars) is going to Bourges in France while Ruth Hamblin (Dallas Wings) has a spot on the Perth Lynx of Australia's WNBL.
