No doubt there'll be a sigh of relief in Lausanne, where there were probably fears of a Le Pen victory overshadowing the Paris Olympics. The IOC will probably be pretty happy they can have a Games not overshadowed by politics and external events, unlike 2014, 2016, 2018 and 2020. Just the usual strikes & rioting then.

phelps 6,804 Posted July 14, 2022 #180 Share Posted July 14, 2022 so, handball gets screwed and has to play the preliminary in a small hall with no air conditioning in the middle of Summer... If I were the IHF, I'd never accept this, If I were the French NT's handball players, a strike would start immediately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
