Day 41 - Danish Handball

Team handball is the second most popular sport in Denmark. Soccer / futbol / football / fodbold is number one. Tonight, Denmark faced Spain in the World Men's Handball Championship in Barcelona. Spoiler alert!
The actual team handball is remarkably similar to the intramural variation that we played in high school. Thanks Mr. Margerum! It's sort of an indoor lacrosse without the stick-with-net things.

Denmark has never won the World Championship - they have several European titles. It's a fun / fast game. Teams usually score around thirty goals a game.

This is Mikkel Hansen, arguably the most famous / best handball player in Denmark


He seems a bit like the Wayne Rooney of Danish handball. With much more hair. A bit, dare I say, overexposed?
