French women's handball team. The French women's handball team won the European Championship, beating the Russians in the final

In France, the final game of the Euro took place, in which the hosts of the competition in a bitter struggle took over the Russians and, thus, for the first time in history tried on the continental crown.

The sign of the final duel completely repeated the one that was at the 2016 Olympics. But final result pleased others. In Rio de Janeiro, the Russian team prevailed with a score of 22:19. And now, on the contrary, she lost to the French team with a difference of the same three goals (21:24).

Despite the fact that at the preliminary stage of this European Championship, the Russians beat the French (26:23), the bookmakers gave some preference to the French team before the final match. And as a result, it was she who celebrated success.

Note that the French team won the continental championship for the first time in history. But the Russians, despite the fact that they are four-time world champions and current Olympic champions, have never won the Euro gold.





The bronze medalists of the current European Championship was the Netherlands team, which in the match for third place broke the resistance of the Romanians 24:20.

Russian Anna Vyakhireva was named the Most Valuable Player of the Euro. The symbolic team of the tournament also included goalkeeper Amandine Leino (France), right corner Carmen Martin (Spain), right welterweight Alicia Stolle (Germany), point guard Stine Oftedal (Norway), left welterweight Noemi Khafra (Hungary), left corner Maida Mehmedovic (Montenegro) ), linear Krina Pintya (Romania). best player defensive plan named Kelly Dulfer (Netherlands).

The final of the European Championship between the Russians and the French, which was watched from the stands by 14,060 spectators, became the most attended in the history of the continental championships.

No one believed in the French team. Norway was considered too strong to lose in the final. Yes, the French played well and very pragmatically, relying on defense, but the Norwegian attack looked flawless.

The start of the final only confirmed these thoughts - the Scandinavians opened the opponents' defense with accurate passes into the line, which turned into either goals or 7-meter penalties. When the scoreboard became 7:4 in favor of Norway, they finally stopped believing in French women. Nevertheless, in the next attack, the Norwegians did not score a penalty, and then relaxed a little, allowing the rivals to level the score - 8:8.

With each passing minute, France played better in defense, and Le Bleu's goalkeepers worked wonders in the frame. Norway, meanwhile, began to have serious problems: fast transitions did not work out, the compact and mobile defense of the French did not fail during positional attacks. Surprisingly, at the end of the first half, the Norwegians failed to realize a two-man advantage in a minute, which is why the teams went to rest with the score 11:10 in favor of France.

At the beginning of the second half, Le Bleu managed to get into a small gap at all, creating a three-goal advantage for himself. Norway, however, added to the speed - and bounced back. Nora Mork and Veronica Christiansen did everything to bring the Scandinavians back into the game - and they succeeded (the score of 15:12 in favor of the French turned into 16:16).

However, then the Norwegians stopped again. They began to make too many mistakes, and their attacks became more and more chaos. France didn't play much better, losing balls in attack with the same regularity. The teams gave each other gifts, but no one wanted to use them.

At the moment when Norway took the lead with 5 minutes left (20:19), it seemed that this was the end. But the Scandinavians again failed to close the game, France scored two goals in a row and defended again. Then the French women threw another ball - and took the lead with a score of 22:20.

A minute before the end of the match, Norway played one ball, but failed to save the game. In their attack, Le Bleu scored 23 goals, finally removing all questions. The Norwegians carried out another attack, but it would not have changed anything. 23:21 in favor of France, which sensationally won the World Cup.

For the French, this is the second title of the strongest in the world - they previously won gold in 2003. Norway failed to defend the title of the best, becoming the silver medalist of the world championship for the third time in history. Bronze medalist World Cup was the Netherlands, who beat Sweden in the bronze final (24:21). For the Netherlands, this is the second consecutive medal at the Women's World Cup - in 2015 they took second place.
