The world champion hangs the bronze in extra time
MADRID, 30 One. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Danish handball team won (32-35) against France this Sunday in the fight for the bronze of the 2022 European Championship, a third place that was decided in extra time and that returned Denmark to the continental podium eight years later .
The world champion kept the sweet taste of victory at the Budapest Arena, at the expense of her executioner in the final of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. France, who beat the Danes to advance to the semifinals, could not add this time their sixth win in a row against Denmark at the Europeans.
Rasmus Lauge, Jacob Holm and Niklas Landin stepped forward in extra time. Without Hansen or Gidsel, Kentin Mahe, who returned after missing four games due to his positive for COVID, was the best with eight goals and seven assists. This time, Vincent Gerard did work in the French goal, but it was not enough to prevent the Danish success.
