What debacle for the Italian beach soccer team, with another loss Portugal qualify for the final, meanwhile Egypt will compete for the bronze medal.

 v.  beach handball match really feels like two completely different matches when you look at the score line. Tunisians really rallying hard to force the penalty shootout.

NOCs that never won a medal at Mediterranean Beach Games 

• Andorra, they entred only a pair in Men's beach volley. Probabily no chances to win a medal (1% medal chances) 
• Bosnia & Herzegovina, only atlethes and only in kata. Their Games are already over (0%)
• Kosovo, medium delegation and they entry in team sports, but they're already out from the medal match. Two swimmer and beach volley pair still on the pack (1%)
• Lebanon, some beach volley pairs, not too much hopes (1%)
• Malta, they had only Schembri and he was deadly last in rowing Beach sprint (0%)
• Montenegro had only a karateka, they're Games are ove (0%)
• North Macedonia entred only a men's 3x3 team, and losted all their match (0%)

 

I think that we can safely say that Marocco is the only new country able to win a medal. All the others will have a chances in Portugal 2027, hoping to see biggest delegations

More problems with the weather in Heraklion... After trying to compete in the quarterfinals of the men's 1x beach rowing, the program was interrupted.

Beach sprint rowing is over. The final results assigned using the time trial results. For the men's 1x only quarterfinals are taken in account.

 

That means that Spain won all 5 golds.
