Germany Dominates Slovenia in Handball While France Advances to Semi-Finals at 2024 Olympics

At the 2024 Olympics in Paris, Germany's men's handball team showcased their strength by winning against Slovenia, securing the top spot in their group. This victory led to Slovenia facing Norway in the quarter-finals instead of the favored French team. The match raised eyebrows when Slovenia's coach, Uros Zorman, hinted at a strategic loss to avoid a tough quarter-final against Denmark, a mistake they regretted from the Rio Olympics. Despite Slovenia's approach, Germany's coach, Alfred Gíslason, denied any claims of not playing to win. Meanwhile, the French women's handball team triumphed over Germany in their quarter-final match, securing a spot in the semi-finals with a solid performance led by goalkeeper Laura Glauser, who made 13 crucial saves. The French team now looks ahead to their next challenge, potentially against Sweden or Hungary.
