Quotes:

“We are proud, honored and happy for winning the gold medal. This is the biggest step we could make in the world of handball. We won every game we played it and now played in a fantastic Arena. We managed to handle the pressure which frightened the Polish team in their match with Serbia. We are the new World Champions and that is proof that the gold medalist needn’t be from a European country.”
 (Brazilian coach Morten Soubak).

“I am really happy for the gold. We dreamed of getting a medal, any medal, but it wasn’t until the second half of tonight’s game that we had the belief that we could capture the gold all for ourselves. Every single one of my teammates deserved this medal and I am proud that we got it.” (Brazilian player Eduarda Amorim).
