FINALS REVIEW: Hungary defended their European men’s 17 title, and Netherlands won a thrilling women’s 17 final in Izmir
Hungary were the main gold candidates in both events of the YAC 17 EHF Beach Handball EURO 2023 in Izmir; the men’s team lived up to that billing and defeated Spain 2:0 in the final, but the women’s team – which had not dropped a set coming into their final – lost 2:1 against Netherlands after a thrilling shootout. Bronze went to Sweden in both events.
