– throughout the 14 years, Norway has always had one of kvindehåndboldens three belts. Forward to the OLYMPICS they were even reigning champion at both the OLYMPICS, WORLD cup and european championship. The total grandslam. But now it’s over
– Russia and France have taken over, and much to suggest that they meet in the european championship final on Sunday, says in his analysis.
