Drama just before the end
Missed pass plunges France into the valley of tears
Germany's handball players have spectacularly knocked hosts France out of the Olympic tournament and are dreaming of a medal!
On Wednesday, the DHB team defeated European champions France 35:34 after extra time in a highly dramatic quarter-final and will face Spain in the semi-finals. Spain had previously beaten Egypt 29:28, also after extra time. Denmark eliminated Sweden 32:31 in a thriller and will now play Slovenia for a place in the final.
Dika Mem lost the ball unnecessarily
The French led by six goals at one stage. With six seconds left in regulation time, it looked like the hosts would win. However, Dika Mem, who had played an outstanding game up to that point, lost the ball completely unnecessarily, allowing the Germans to equalize with the final buzzer.

Karabatic's career is over
In front of 27,000 spectators in Lille, Germany came out on top in extra time to draw a line under one of the greatest careers in the sport of handball. Nikola Karabatic ends his career with the Olympic Games. The 40-year-old won three Olympic gold medals, became world and European champion four times and won the Champions League three times.
World champions Denmark fought a real battle with Sweden, who came third in the European Championships. Simon Pytlick with nine goals and Mikkel Hansen with six goals finally led the Danes into the semi-finals. The Slovenians, who defeated Norway 33:28, await them there on Friday.
