After drama against Sweden: France reaches for European Championship gold against Denmark
Drama in the semi-finals, the defending champions have been dethroned: France’s handball players kept their nerve in the Swedish thriller and reached the European Championship final thanks to their huge comeback qualities. The Olympic champion won the high-class and thrilling duel against the Scandinavians with 34:30 (27:27, 17:11) after extra time and is now aiming for his fourth European Championship gold in the final on Sunday (5:45 p.m.) in Cologne. The opponent in the final is world champion Denmark.
The Swedes made up for a seven-goal deficit against the French and were still leading 27:25 until 28 seconds before the end – but Nikola Karabatic and Co. came back. With a direct free throw from Elohim Prandi, which slammed off the bottom edge of the crossbar into the goal with the final siren, the record world champion saved himself into extra time, where he turned up the heat and gave the Scandinavians no chance. However, the Swedes protested. When looking at the slow motion of the free throw, one could see that Prandi’s foot came off the ground too early and the hit was therefore irregular.

Final of the European Handball Championship: Denmark still has a score to settle with France
If the result remains the same immediately after the end of the game, France and Denmark will face each other in the final on Sunday evening. The French final opponent also struggled for a long time in their semi-final and was temporarily behind against Germany. But in the second half the Danes turned up the heat and deservedly beat the German team 29:26 (12:14).
So now the showdown between the two favorites is on the program. Denmark still has a score to settle with the French team. At the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo, both teams also met in the final, where France won 25:23 and were crowned Olympic champions. The European Championship final promises many close duels and an open game. (epp/wuc/SID)
