Tunisia and Germany finished the opening day of the Dakar Youth Olympic beach handball competition with two wins apiece, according to the IHF’s 9 November review. Neither conceded a set in men’s Group A.

Tunisia beat Thailand 2-0 in the afternoon session, while Germany defeated the Cook Islands by the same set score. In the women’s competition, China overcame Croatia in a shoot-out.

Following the competition

The IHF’s separate viewing guide sets the beach handball programme in Saly from 9 to 13 November, with eight men’s teams and eight women’s teams participating.

Coverage is available through Olympics.com, the Olympics app and the official Olympics YouTube channel, subject to territorial restrictions. The federation’s competition pages also provide match statistics and reports.

The opening results establish a strong start, not a medal outcome. Set scores should also be distinguished from the points scored within each period when readers compare beach handball results.
