In The World Games, Austria beat France, but lost to USA and Panama in the group stages, setting up a quarterfinal meeting with Japan, who were defeated 39-32. Having lost out to the United States in a close semifinal, Austria faced Panama in the bronze medal game, but were unable to secure a medal.
