Indeed, in the game for the bronze medal, they won quickly the first set. But, maybe a little tired by the hot and intensity of the meeting, French women lost the 2nd set. In the decisive set, thanks to the good aggressiveness of Deborah and the beautiful conclusion of points of Zoe, they won the bronze medal, in front of a full audience !
Men side, the game was extremely tight. The result was known only during the tie break between German Dollinger, A. / Wickler and Italian brothers Ingrosso. Italian team, not at its best level, from the start of this tournament, failed again (22-24, 21-11, 14-16), which sent the Germans on the 3rd step of the podium
