It was all about being close and exciting during men’s handball on day six on the Beijing Olympics, with the majority of matches played today being won by the smallest of margins.

Two matches finished with a one goal difference, with one other match finishing with final respective margins of two, three and four goals, showing how close competition is as teams head towards next week’s finals.

The only exception was the match between Spain and China, where Spain led from the word go and had a 20-10 second half to beat the host nation by fourteen goals.
