The appointment for the final of the European Championship was made between Spain and Croatia. The two teams, who are… usual suspects to win medals at the event, prevailed in the semi-finals and will meet on Tuesday (16/1) at 21:15 for gold and qualification for the Paris Olympics.
In the first ever semi-final, Spain “sunk” Italy 7-4 and returned to the final of the European Championship.
The Fukuoka World Championships bronze medalist will be on the podium at the event for the fourth time in a row, after finishing second in Barcelona (2018) and Budapest (2020) and third in Split (2022).
It is worth noting that the referee in the match was Giorgos Stavridis, together with the Slovenian Boris Margeta.
The eight minutes: 2-1, 2-0, 1-0, 2-3
In the second semi-final, Croatia beat Hungary 11-8 in a match that was a repeat of the previous final of the competition. The Croatians will claim gold again at the European Championships, leaving out the World champion.
The eight minutes: 2-2, 0-2, 4-3, 2-4
The minor final will be held on Tuesday (16/1) at 19:30 between Italy and Hungary.
