Multiple teams competing at the women's basketball World Cup in Berlin evacuated their shared hotel early Sunday morning following a fire alarm. The alarm triggered shortly after 2 am, forcing players and staff to wait on the street until authorities provided an all-clear. Athletes were permitted to return to their rooms at approximately 3 am. The United States team, featuring Caitlin Clark and other WNBA stars, was not affected as they secured separate accommodations. The remaining tournament participants residing at the hotel were the only ones impacted by the temporary evacuation. The event occurred just days before the scheduled matches in the city.
