Olympic Games: Gold to the Norwegian handball team

What an amazing team, what an amazing match. Norway has never played better and won over the Russian team by 34-27!! That is .... there is really nothing to say.

Norway's woman's handball team has always been a favorite among the Norwegian audiences. I think partly because they are such great persons. You just love to see their interviews and feel everything they do. For so many years they have being almost cold medalists in the Olympics. They have won the European Championship and the World Championship but never the Olympics, and we have been waiting waiting waiting for it. This might not be a sport where a lot of people around the world follow it, but it's a very Norwegian thing to. Only in my class in school growin up there where always about half the class having played handball at some time. When there are so many people playing it has to result in a lot of great players, and now we can see the result.

Me, I cried through about all of the second half and the victory ceremony. One of the times it's really exciting to be a Norwegian and a fan of the national handball team. Now we'll just have to see if there will be another two golds to Norway during the rest of the day :D
