The EHF European Cup final second leg was played yesterday in Greece. Although Olympiacos lost on penalties, over 7500 fans showed up. This is big for Greek handball, as I doubt we ever had that many people at a handball match in Greece aside from Athens 2004.

 

Of course most of the people there are fans of the football club and probably had never seen handball live before, but once the news broke that the club's handball team made a European final, people started to get interested so they moved the venue into a bigger one.

Second bronze in the U20 world championship in a row for the Dutch team, hopefully some of these young women make it into the senior team, like Kim Molenaar from last year's bronze team who is now in the preliminary selection for Paris.
