In the men's tournament, the gold medal match was a rematch of the Rio de Janeiro final five years previous, but this time France defeated Denmark, claiming a reverse 2-goal victory to the Danes in 2016, 25-23. The surprise team of the tournament was Egypt, qualifying for the semifinals with a 5-goal victory over Germany. However losses to France and then 33-31 to Spain in the bronze medal match dashed the hopes of a first Olympic handball medal for Africa.
The following day, France repeated their victory in the women's tournament, as they defeated the Russians 30-25 in another rematch and reversal of the Rio gold medal match. In doing so, they won their first Olympic gold but also saw the French become dual gold medal winners at the same Games since Yugoslavia in Los Angeles in 1984. After being beaten by one goal in a tight semi against Russia, Norway stormed to a 36-19 win over their neighbours Sweden to claim the bronze.
