London, England— Tuesday, following her team's 62–37 win over Mexico in the quarter-finals at the North Greewich Arena, Wikinews interviewed Amber Merrit of the Australian women's national wheelchair basketball team.
In their next match, the Gliders will face the victors from the United States versus Canada, having suffered their first loss of this year's Games to Canada on Sunday night by seven points. 
((Laura Hale))  I'm excited to see you in London, because you were so fantastic in that interview.
((WN))  Which state are you from?
((WN))  You wheel change! What was wrong with your wheel?
((WN))  was that because you were playing really aggressively against Mexico?
((WN))  Watching that game it didn't seem that they were playing that aggressive, in terms of they came in with set pieces; they weren't doing the full-court press; they didn't seem prepared for your offensive and defensive tenacity. 
((Hawkeye7))  You kept on all holding them out, where they weren't even getting across the centre line
((WN))  You tipped a lot in previous games. You haven't tipped so much in this series.
((WN))  Part of the appeal of wheelchair basketball, and I feel guilty admitting it, it watching you guys tip. 
((WN))  You've got your next game coming up, which is going to be against the winner of the United States or Canada later today
((WN))  Looking forward to meeting them?
((WN))  Who would you prefer?
((WN))  Do you think you've been adequately prepared coming in to this, with your tournament in Sydney, your tournament in the Netherlands? 
((WN))  Does that give you an advantage over other teams?
((WN))  Thank you very much.
