The European Championship in Hungary and Slovakia, where the German team played exclusively, goes to the crucial games. With the medals, the DHB team weakened by Corona Early has definitely nothing to do this year.

The fifth place from the European Championship 2020 will not hold or even kept the two-time European champion (2014 and 2016). In the main round Germany lost all three games and can advance at most with a victory against Russia on Tuesday (18 o’clock, live! At DHB team) in four of the group II. The third place, which would entitle to play for the game five, is except range in view of 2: 6 points.
