The Swedish handball ladies fell heavily after an overtime thriller against host nation France, but have the chance to end a strong tournament with a bronze medal if they win this afternoon against Denmark. A medal that in that case would be the first at the Olympics for the Swedish women’s national team in handball. The men – who went out against Denmark in the quarterfinals – have four silvers from previous Games. Return 15.00. Superduo go for gold A medal that, however, is already secured is the one in the men’s beach volleyball tournament. The super duo David Åhman and Jonathan Hellvig beat Qatar in straight sets in the semi-finals – and now face Germany in the final. The Swedes are top ranked in the tournament and are seen as favourites, but Germany beat a strong Norwegian team in their semi and will be a tough opponent. Match start 22.30 below the Eiffel Tower in the heart of Paris. See when all Swedes compete in the fact box below:
