Hungarians and Norwegians has been known as talent shooters and athletes for a long time and that is why the Gold match was expected to be very exciting and so the beginning of the match promised too. Hungary took the lead but Norway didn´t give up and took the lead from Hungary after the fifth shot 18-22. It looked that Norway has a good flow and they were leading until to the 10th shots. Hungary took the lead 41-39 and just left Norway behind. I think that Balint Kalman´s 10.9 decided finally the game and Hungary was leding with the difference of 18 point.
