Namely, in the semifinal match with Algeria's Mammeri and Medel, our representatives - despite their excellent "opening" - were defeated 1-2 in sets (21-18, 15-21, 14-21), confirming thus bronze as the first Croatian medal at the Games in Oran. The Algerian pair will face Spaniards Pereira and Vicen in the finals, who have beaten Italy's Caponi and Toti 2-1 in the semifinals (17-21, 21-15, 21-19). (NOC of Croatia/VK)
