Here’s your daily brief for the handball action at the 2024 Summer Olympics and it’s quarter-finals day for the women in Lille!
The schedule
09:30 – Denmark vs Netherlands
13:30 – France vs Germany
17:30 – Hungary vs Sweden
21:30 – Norway vs Brazil
What’s at stake?
No more second chances, it’s win or go home now. The quarter-finals of the Olympic Games in any sport can be so cruel, being so close yet so far from a shot at a medal. Four teams are going to feel that devastation in different measures today.
I haven’t got all day
Then go for the first and last games of the day, two very different clashes and perhaps set to be the most entertaining.
Around the rings
The individual showjumping final takes place this morning and it’s a great event to watch as 30 people and their horses get one opportunity to execute the perfect run and a chance at a medal. These events usually end in an additional jump-off to decide gold, ideal drama between handball matches.
