What is this all about, you may ask. Perhaps you don't even know what handball is, or confuse the terms handball and team handball. It's quite all-right - as long as you do not stay ignorant of this wonderful sport and of our women's team in particular. Each time I talk to my foreign friends and enthusiastically rave on about the team's latest achievements in the Olympics or World Championship, I always get the response: "What is handball? Isn't it something about hitting a ball with your hand like in squash? Or Raquett ball? And who cares after all?"
Well, more people ought to care about this exciting and entertaining sport. The women are even much more popular than our - formerly so great - male national team in football! What do you say to that fact, male hooligans and beer-bellied couch potatoes?! ;-) Thus the women's team is a fine example of female role models and innovators within sports, who can do much more than just looking pretty and obeying rules made by others. O.K, the popularity also derives from the fact that here we finally have a sport where Denmark is winning (nearly) all the time. That has a lot to do with it also.
