Last month, theFrench women's handball team won the World Championships, after a fine victory over Norway. From Wednesday, January 10, 2024, the men set about the task of winning Euro 2024, which they hadn't won since 2014. The opportunity to achieve a double never before achieved in the history of handball: a European championship and the Olympic Games in the same year, with Paris this summer! And it's off to a good start, as Les Bleus have brought home their fourth victory in the competition!
Les Bleus were no longer the favourites against the Danes, and yet! Their impressive record makes them the most successful team in history: three-time Olympic champions, six-time world champions and now four-time European champions! OnJanuary 28, the French handballers picked up another medal, after finishing top of their group in the preliminary phase, shining in the main round and valiantly beating Sweden in extra time in the semi-finals!
With a fine 33-31 scoreline against Denmark, their favorite enemy, the French scored a true classic of the sport. The two nations had already met in the final of Euro 2014, which Les Bleus won for the last time. A match that once again brought them luck, ten years on, for a superb story that continues.
