Denmark at the top of men’s handball world
The Danish men’s handball team has established dominance by reaching the finals of three consecutive Handball World Championships and defeating their opponents in each. In the history of the sport, although there have been multiple world champions, never before has a national team lifted the World Championship trophy three times in a row. In 2019, on home soil as co-hosts with Germany, they confidently defeated Norway in the final. Two years later, Egypt hosted the tournament, and nearly halted their progress. In the quarterfinals, after double overtime, they only managed to defeat the African team through penalty shots. Subsequently, in a close final, they overcame Sweden by two goals to defend their title. In 2023, by dominating the French team throughout the gold medal match, they secured their third consecutive World Championship title at the event co-hosted by Sweden and Poland.
