Norway beats France strongly and wins the European Women’s Handball Championship



[ad_1]

Norway, the big favorite at the beginning of the tournament, favorite even before the final, started like a cannon. It was broken at 5 goals, in the middle of the first half, and the last act seemed like a game for Mork and company. However, Olivier Krumbholz, the experienced French coach, risked everything. He called for two timeouts in the first half and cut the momentum of the Nordics.

Norway, new European women’s handball champion

In the second half, Darleux took Leynaud’s place in goal and started the round. The Norwegian stars were no longer inspired by the offense, and the European champion took the lead in the final 10 minutes. A wrong change from Zaadi then upset the balance in the end. Nora Mork hit the ramp at the climax, with two individual actions, and Norway triumphed!

Croatia – Denmark, 25-19, in the small European final

Croatia had a perfect second half against Denmark. The pivot Katarina Jezic, the author of 5 goals and designated MVP of the final, won each match in the semicircle. He fired 7-meter shots at key moments, and his teammates had a sure hand. The door also worked perfectly.

In the second half, Denmark had a 17-minute period without a goal. The longest in this competition. He finished with an unlikely 25-19 and a first medal in the history of the team led by Nenad Sostarici.

Croatia, bronze medalist at the European Women’s Handball Championship

Croatia do not have big stars in the team. Coach Nenad Sostarici found out just before Euro that he cannot trust the Podravka players, who were quarantined after one of the handball players was discovered with a coronavirus. Under these conditions, he used no less than 9 players from runner-up Lokomotiva Zagreb, a team he is also preparing.

FINAL »Croatia – Denmark 25-11

Croatia and Denmark compete for third place in this edition. The Croats clearly lost 19-30 to France in the semi-finals, while Norway, the big favorites, barely beat Denmark, 27-24. On paper, the Danes are favorites to win the bronze medal in this final round, but Croatia was the surprise of this edition and could alter the calculations.
