Men’s Final
> The Ukrainian men’s team finally qualified for the final. They had a tough semi-final match against the Georgian team, last year’s European Champion.
In the final match they will face with the French team which is led by European Champion Teddy Riner as eyecatcher. Over the last six years the French men were in the final three times, but unfortunately they lost each time.
