Estonia's senior basketball teams returned from the European Championships in Malaga with an impressive three gold medals, one silver and one bronze to show for their efforts.

A total of six Estonian teams participated in the championships, with women represented in the 30+, 35+ and 55+ age groups, and men's teams taking part in the 40+, 60+ and 75+ competitions.

It was the women's over 55s team who led the way for Estonia, following up their comprehensive 85-31 defeat of Ireland in the semi-finals, with victory over neighbors Latvia in the final to take the gold.

In the men's 75 and over competition, Estonia's golden oldies also proved that age is just a number, sweeping aside all three of their group stage opponents, before finishing the job in the final with a 36-25 win over Germany.

The Estonian women's over 35s had to settle for silver after making it to the final only to lose 64-44 to Great Britain.

Capping off a successful competition for Estonia were, the men's over 60s, who recovered from a 64-42 semi-final defeat against Slovenia, to take the bronze medal by defeating Italy's B team in the third-fourth place play off.

Estonia also took home the gold in women's 30+ age group.
