Second and third place went to the team of women in Germany and the Netherlands respectively. Men silver in a bitter struggle Ukrainian sportsmen got bronze - home team competitions.

"Winning at the Games in Baku was much more difficult than in the European championship - saw Rodionenko. - Let me explain why. First, almost all the teams, except the UK, arrived here in the strongest part, left the house only to those injured. Secondly, here in the national team performs all three men, and the result is two. It is beneficial for those teams that do not have a large number of top-notch athletes. Therefore, for the medals was this bitter struggle. Nevertheless, we managed very confident win in the women's team tournament. Men fight for the awards was, you might say, to the last shell, but our guys ended up stronger. "
