The World Cup final looked to be a demonstration of French power.

Towards the end of the first half, the Olympic champion led 16-10 against Norway.

But then came the collapse.

France conceded four straight goals, 16-16, and in the second half Norway went on.

The final result was 29-2 and the Norwegian World Cup gold is a fact.

Solberg played great

A key factor in the turnaround was goalkeeper Silje Solberg who played great in the second half.

This is the fourth time Norway has won World Cup gold.

Sweden went to the quarterfinals against France.
