Sweden took gold against Germany on Saturday in Paris in just over half an hour. The Germans settled for silver and Norway took bronze against Qatar.

The Swedish pair, David Ahman and Jonatan Hellvig, took the gold medal in one of the shortest men's beach volleyball finals in Olympic history. 

The Swedish team has been able to beat the German duo, composed of Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler, in just 34 minutes.

The final was dominated by the Swedish team who completely controlled winning the first set 21-10 and the second 21-13 beating the German duo Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler in just 34 minutes.

It was Sweden's first Olympic gold medal in volleyball becoming the fifth country to win in the sport. Germany won its second medal in the category, after having won a bronze medal in 2000.

The Swedes have started to set a trend in the sport. They have become famous for their offensive style of play, known as the "Swedish jumping game". This adds an element of unpredictability to the attacking play, giving them an advantage as the opponents do not know where they are going to hit the ball.

The bronze medal match went to Norway who beat Qatar 21-13 and 21-16. Norwegians Anders Berntsen Mol and Christian Sandlie Soerum got their second consecutive medal at the Olympic Games after taking gold in Tokyo 2020.

The Norwegian pair dominated the entire match and managed to beat the Qatari pair of Cherif Younousse and Ahmed Tijan who were also hoping to win back-to-back medals, after their bronze medalists in Tokyo.

The match was won in just over half an hour, with Norway dominating the first set, taking a big lead and finishing with a resounding 21-13 win. The second set was also very convincing for the European team, and although the Qataris tried to recover, they could not avoid defeat with Norway winning the second set 21-16.
