Denmark clinched their second men's Olympic handball gold medal when they beat Germany 39-26 in the final as one of the sport's greatest, Mikkel Hansen, retired on a high on Sunday.

It was Denmark's second title in the last three Games, having played all three finals in Rio - where they won - Tokyo and Paris.

Germany, who knocked out defending champions France in the quarterfinals, were never in the mix and trailed throughout after levelling for 1-1.

Spain edged out Slovenia 23-22 in the bronze medal match earlier on Sunday.
