PARIS: Defending champions France have won on Sunday the Men's Handball World Championship 2017 for the sixth time, after defeating Norway.
The ‘Les Blues’ had a rough first half and ended up leading with only 1 point difference.
At the second half, the French squad, dubbed ‘Les Experts’, revolted and ended the second half, 33-26, against Norway.
