handball world cup
The defending world titleholder imposes her quality on the French pride with Rasmus Lauge, Pytlick and Gidsel as stilettos
Denmark is still the queen of handball. In a dominance never seen before, the Nordic team led by Nikolaj Jacobsen added their third consecutive world title in a final that they dominated from start to finish against a proud France. The French effort to never lose the trail of their rival is praiseworthy, but sterile against a team that is a whole constellation of stars and has extended its hegemony over the 40×20 in recent years.
The Danish staging was forceful, intimidating thanks to the saves by Niklas Landin and the launches by Simon Pytlick. The left-back of GOG Gudme, at 22 years old, is the latest jewel of a youth academy that does not cease in its efforts to produce talent and his cannon shots from nine meters helped the Scandinavian team in its early rise on the scoreboard (2-6).
The final took place at supersonic speed, with a constant advantage for Denmark of between three and four goals, although the offensive vertigo at the start gradually gave way to a more tactical battle, with defenses and goalkeepers playing a greater role. The French team, less exuberant in terms of quality compared to the Danes but with the veteran Karabatic brothers as the watchword of the winning character, was like a diesel engine. Les Experts dried up the Nordic scoring ability, closed the gap as the minutes passed and went to the locker room just one goal away.

Thus, France cleaned up the blur of its weak start by equalizing the game after the break. The balance seemed to give way to a new match, but Denmark added resources to their magic formula with the state of grace of Rasmus Lauge, an addition to Pytlick’s cannon and Mathias Gidsel’s multi-tool, as good scoring as assisting or applying himself on defense. . Again + 3 Danish with 18-21 and French herculean effort to reduce the difference to one with the tailwind of the Danish exclusions.
The game of cat and mouse was going to be decided by the enormous depth of the Danish bench, which increased its arsenal by the powerful arm of Mads Mensah Larsen and the good work under the sticks of Kevin Moller, who took over from Landin on the most important. The defending champion faced the last four minutes ahead (27-31) and although the Gauls were proud until the end, the third Danish crown fell under its own weight.
