In pictures: Day 16

France prevailed dark horse Iceland 28-23 today to win its first ever Olympic gold medal in men's handball. Both teams paid much attention to their defence at the beginning of the game, tying 2-2 eight minutes into the match. The Icelanders, who were known for their sharp attack, appeared nail-biting in front of French solid defending line, with their top scorer Snorri Steinn Gudjonsson only netting once before the break.
