Men's Handball IHF World Championship 2023


Recommended Posts

We have wasted a ton of money on this sport and we are still not even on par with a nation that has a much smaller population than us. What will it take to finally have world class Hungarian handball again? They got all the money in the world to deliver and at this point there might be a 16 years gap between two Hungarian male handball quotas. There are youth handball players who have never even seen the male Hungarian handball team at the Olympics in their life, it's been that fucking long. I don't know why I still bother to watch this...

That's because our biggest teams agenda is to win the Champions League, not to produce great Hungarian handball players. For some reason the idiots in Hungarian handball think that the Champions League is truly worth something in this sport, like in football. The reality is that the Olympic Games is what matters above all else in handball, if we are not there, we might as well shut down this sport instead of wasting money. Hungarian handball was stronger when Veszprém and Győr weren't competing for the men's and women's Champions League title. 

 

Right now we are declining like in the 70s and 80s in football, Hungarian handball will soon end up like Hungarian football at this rate.

I feel like money can make the difference between a good team and an elite team, but when there's not enough kids playing a sport the pool of available talent is just not enough. I think in the Netherlands the biggest limitation to our Olympic team sports is at the grassroots level and not the money for the national teams.

I'm really surprised by this. I guess we just love to play Poland in Poland. We won against them in volleyball and now in handball. Here's hoping they host the Eurobasket sometime soon.

    • I'm attempting to create a medal projector for the 2026 Olympics. Instead of just listing the top 3 favourites I wanted to give a percentage athletes have to win a medal. My first events completed were downhill, here are the top 10.   Men's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Marco Odermatt 17% 14% 10% 41%  Franjo Von Allmen 17% 11% 9% 37%  Alexis Monney 10% 9% 9% 28%  Miha Hrobat 8% 9% 8% 25%  Cameron Alexander 7% 9% 7% 23%  Vincent Kriechmayr 7% 7% 6% 20%  Justin Murisier 6% 7% 6% 19%  Dominik Paris 5% 5% 6% 16%  Daniel Hemetsberger 5% 4% 5% 14%  James Crawford 3% 4% 5% 12%     Women's Downhill Athlete Gold Silver Bronze Total  Sofia Goggia 27% 15% 12% 54%  Ester Ledecka 13% 11% 9% 33%  Cornelia Huetter 12% 11% 8% 31%  Federica Brignone 11% 12% 11% 34%  Lauren Macuga 9% 9% 8% 26%  Lara Gut-Behrami 6% 8% 9% 23%  Breezy Johnson 5% 7% 7% 19%  Corinne Suter 5% 7% 6% 18%  Laura Pirovano 2% 3% 5% 10%  Marta Bassino 2% 3% 4% 9%   In order to prevent my computer from dying I only ran the simulation 1000 times so no tenth of a percentage is listed. For nations with many athletes I just took the four highest ranked athletes as per event rules and removed the rest. Eventually as NOCs announce their teams I can refine it properly.   Any surprises?

    • They did what the Italians should do, but unfortunately Giacomel has been too inconsistent this season. He has great performances but makes inexplicable mistakes. In any case, Italian biathlon without Vittozzi in great form can count on single podiums at major events at best, nothing more.
