Here’s your daily brief for the handball action at the 2024 Summer Olympics and it’s round four for the women at the Arena Paris Sud.
The schedule
09:00 – Netherlands vs Brazil
11:00 – Republic of Korea vs Sweden
14:00 – Spain vs Hungary
16:00 – Angola vs France
19:00 – Germany vs Denmark
21:00 – Slovenia vs Norway
What’s at stake?
Some teams are in serious danger of elimination unless they get another win on the board, namely Slovenia, Korea, Spain and Brazil. With just two rounds remaining, expect some nervy encounters today.
I haven’t got all day
Probably the most tense clash will be between Spain and Hungary. If Spain do not get a result, then it’s goodbye to them, while Hungary can put an underwhelming start to one side and secure qualification with a win. Germany vs Denmark has the makings of a highlight match and the result will have big implications on the quarter-final placement.
Around the rings
Following a week of heats, repechages and E/F semi-finals, the rowing is reaching its climax with a plethora of finals and medals on the line. Always dramatic and impressive to witness, check out the action at Vaires-sur-Marne.
