Hosts Egypt failed to clinch the bronze medal in the Junior World Championship after suffering a 35-24 defeat to Slovenia on Wednesday.

Slovenia, who went to the locker room with an 18-11 lead, outplayed the Pharaohs throughout the game.

Egypt wasted the majority of their opportunities and keeper Karim Hendawi, one of the tournament's top performers, failed to impress.

The 1993 Junior Championship winners, who were defeated by eventual runners-up Denmark, finished fourth.

Germany won the tournament after beating Denmark 32-24.
