Tokyo 2020. Seoul again! Argentina’s bronze, Brazil bustling off stage

When the Brazilians finished 6th in the Olympics for the first time since the Sydney Olympics, the excitement was out of the games. After all, they played in the finals from Athens to Rio de Janeiro, this time winning two gold and two silver medals. This time they should enjoy the Olympic side, however a month ago, when they won the Nations League, Tokyo seemed unstoppable. However, the upper form of the caninehos seems to have come very early. The Argentines who competed in the death squad grew up at every meeting. In the final, they played their fifth tie-break in the tournament and played a 2: 3 team level defeat at Canerinhos.

The course of Saturday’s competition for the bronze medal may be similar to the competition with confusion at one point … Poland – France in the quarterfinals. Brazilians like Biało-Czerwoni were already leading 2: 1 throughout the game, but their rivals led to a draw, which they dominated from the start. When the pages changed pages, Argentina took the lead at 8: 4, but in the end it was a fight for a point. With Wallace’s plays, the Brazilians equalized at 12:12. No one gave up, but Marcelo Mendes’ players had the most cold blood. After Fagundo’s successful attack, Conte of the wing enjoyed the match ball and after a while when they blocked the attack of their rivals they could dance happily on the dance floor.

No one would have guessed a situation like this before the Olympics, but it has come true. Argentina team with bronze medals in Tokyo. Brazil on top of the Olympic podium.
