The Paris 2024 Olympic Games come to a close this Sunday, August 11 , with a mysterious closing ceremony at the Stade de France. But before the end, the last finals take place, and on Saturday August 10, the French women faced Norway in a frenzied match. Victory for the Norwegians with a score of 29-21, and disappointment for the French women's handball team, with a superb silver medal nonetheless!
As a reminder, handball at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games is played indoors with 7 players per team in two 30-minute halves. Players can dribble, pass or shoot, but must not hold the ball for more than three seconds or take more than three steps without dribbling. France, which has a strong tradition in this sport with multiple Olympic and world titles, was the favorite in both the men's and women's events. A fine achievement by the French, who take silver.
