Germany defeated France in a dramatic men's Team Handball quarterfinal match at the Paris 2024 Olympics. The match, held in front of 27,000 spectators, ended in overtime after a critical mistake by France allowed Germany to tie the game with just six seconds remaining. This loss marks the first time since the 2004 Olympics that France will not participate in the Olympic final. The game was described as 'absolutely bonkers' and is considered a significant upset, as France were the defending Olympic and European champions.
