Men’s Event
The big surprise in the group stage came as France could only finish fourth in Group A. Denmark won it with Egypt second. Germany took Group B with presumed favourites Spain and Sweden finishing third and fourth. Germany would edge France in extra time and meet Spain in the semi final, who also needed extra time. Both of the winners, came from behind at half time. Germany won that semi final 25-24. Denmark edged Sweden 32-31 while Slovenia beat Norway. Denmark managed to edge Slovenia 31-30 in the semi final. Denmark won the final, building up a big lead in the first half.
🥇Denmark 🇩🇰
🥈Germany 🇩🇪
🥉Spain 🇪🇸
I put Spain as possible contenders. Germany were not someone I expected to challenge
Women’s Event
Match-day one saw Brazil upset Spain and their poor form continued as they went out after losing to Angola. France would win Group B unbeaten. In Group A, three teams would win four games and three teams win one. Norway took the group by virtue of head-to-head goal difference ahead of Sweden and Denmark. It was that group that had three semi finalists, with France also making it. France would come from behind to beat Sweden in extra time. Norway, as they did in the group, beat Denmark to make the final. In the final they were too much for France, winning 29-21.
🥇Norway 🇳🇴
🥈France 🇫🇷
🥉Denmark 🇩🇰
I mentioned the strong record that Norway have over France recently
