Two years ago, at the World Handball Championship in Spain, gold was won by Norway, silver by France, and bronze by Denmark.
The first condition for the order of medal winners to be repeated has been met - Denmark defeated Sweden in the crowded "Jiske bank boxen" in Herning in the match for 3rd place 28:27 and won the fourth bronze at the world championships.
For the Swedish women, on the other hand, this is their fifth semi-final at a major competition, and they have two medals left, from the European championships in 2010 (silver) and 2014 (bronze). For the second time at the world championships, they finished fourth, just like at the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
The home team quickly gained four points (5:1) and reached the maximum point several times, the last one in the 35th minute - 21:17.
The "three crowns" selection found the strength to reverse with a goal by goalkeeper Johana Bundsen (24:23) in the 50th minute, but several bad decisions by Jamina Roberts and the daughter of selector Thomas Aksner, Tyra, were expertly punished by Denmark and reached the victory.
Ane-Mete Hansen, Kristina Jergensen and Mije Hejlund led the home team with five goals each, who scored 25 seconds before the end for an unattainable 28:26.
In the defeated team, Lin Blom and Olivia Melegord scored seven times each, without a miss.
The final between Norway and France starts at 19:16. Two years ago, Olivier Krumbolc's team led 10:29, but Torir Hergeirson's team won convincingly - 22:XNUMX.
