World and Olympic handball champion France lifted the European title on Sunday after beating Croatia 25-21 in the European championship final.

It was the second European gold medal for France who also defeated Croatia in last year's world championship final in Zagreb.

Iceland won the bronze medal with a 29-26 defeat of Poland, its second honour in a major tournament after finishing runner-up at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
