The strongest showing from the Hungarian girls in recent years, hopefully they can bring this kind of energy to Paris. 2 Team ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got into double figures against Hungary and Japan and created some good opportunities for ourselves that we unfortunately couldn't convert, which is more than I expected us to do. This is a sport that needs a lot of development in our country, and this is certainly a start to seeing us become competitive whilst trying to qualify for major championships. Just like with our Water Polo teams, this could be the boost we need to go on and qualify for Brisbane and 2036 - which should be our target off the back of this. It is much easier to qualify in handball, but I feel that concentrating on qualifying in basketball would be a much more „natural“ choice for GB. Basketball should be a much better match. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basketball should be a much better match. We could still go for both as realistically basketball doesn't need too much development in this country compared to handball which needs tons. Either way we need to improve our performances in a lot of Olympic team sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, hopefully we can start doing the same in handball and start capitalising off the back of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
