The team of Grigory Kiriyenko, Stanislav Pozdnyakov and Sergey Sharikov ran through the opposition with little difficulty. They defeated Spain 45-34 and Italy 45-28 before recording their most decisive victory, 45-24, against Hungary in the final. Stanislav Pozdnyakov completed the individual and team gold medal double.
