Extractions: OLYMPIC HISTORY The International Amateur Handball Federation was founded in 1928 and by 1936 had 23 members, enough to convince the IOC to add it to the Olympic programme that year, with 11 players in each team. Handball then disappeared from the Olympiad until Munich in 1972, when only men played, and 1976 for women. Since then it has become very popular, with eight million players registered from about 150 nations. Europe have dominated the sport in recent times though South Korean women won the title in 1988 and 1992. At the 1996 Games, Denmark and South Korea were tied at the final buzzer in the women's final. In extra time, Denmark pulled ahead. In Sydney, Sweden, the world champions, are favourites for the title, with Russia and Yugoslavia the biggest threat, while Denmark, the defending women's champions, will face tough opposition once again from South Korea and Norway.

Extractions: August 5, 1996 Olympics Guide Team Handball By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY TLANTA Who are the biggest heroes in the brief Olympic history of Croatia? Goran Ivanisevic? Iva Majoli? Toni Kukoc? Dino Radja? Try again, and if you do, forget tennis, basketball, soccer or any other sport that Americans follow and understand. The Croats, who won their nation's first and only gold medal, play team handball, that fast-paced hybrid sport that elicits major enthusiasm in Europe and major indifference in most of North America. The Croatian men won that gold Sunday with a thrill-a-minute 27-26 victory over Sweden. They did it in the Georgia Dome before a crowd of 35,000 that was the largest in their sport's history. And when the clock finally wound down to zero, they celebrated by forming a line, dropping to their knees and giddily shuffling across the court. When the Croatians were done with that, they stood up and dived on their stomachs. Finally, they began to sing. They sang folk songs, and in a reminder of what their small, new nation has endured in the 1990s, they also sang a war song: "Zovi, Samo Zovi," which means, "Call us, just call us." "The war is over, but we still had extra motivation to play and reach this goal for our country," said Croatia's coach, Velimir Kljaic.

Extractions: The game is played in 30-minute halves. The rapid, continuous play is marked by spectacular leaps and dives. Players may take three steps before and after a dribble. If not moving, the player may only hold the ball for three seconds; the player must then either move, score, or pass the ball to another team member. Meanwhile, the other team is trying to gain possession of the ball by either snatching it away or intercepting a pass. The goalie may use any part of the body to defend the goal. Both men and women compete separately during tournament style competition. After several days of preliminary rounds, finalists advance to the gold-medal game. News, History, and Fast Facts

Recorded history of the Games dates back to 776 B.C., when the five days of sporting events were primarily religious ceremonies. For the first known 13 Games, the competition consisted of single foot race of 200 yards, which was the approximate length of the Olympic stadium. The Games expanded to include additional contests and reached their height by fifth century BC. Men competed, in the nude, in running, wrestling, pentathlon, horse riding and chariot races. Why in the nude well, to keep the ladies out of the action. Women were barred from watching or competing, and were even put to death if they were caught at the early Games. Today, not only are women allowed to watch and compete, they are encouraged to do so. Check out a few of our historical Olympic pages here at usolympicteam.com.

Extractions: Team handball (also known as field handball or Olympic handball ) is a team sport where seven players in two teams (six players vs. six and a goalkeeper in each team) pass and bounce a ball trying to throw it in the goal of the opposing team. The game is similar to association football and may have originated in either Germany , or earlier in Greece Contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 Field and ball 5 External links It is played on a field forty meters long by twenty meters wide with a dividing line in the middle and a goal in the center of either end. The goals are surrounded by a near-semicircular line that is generally six meters away from the goal. There is also a dashed near-semicircular line that is nine meters away from the goal. Only the defending goalkeeper is allowed to step inside the six meter perimeter, though any player may attempt to catch and touch the ball in the air within it. If a player should find himself in contact inside the goal perimeter he must immediately take the most direct path out of it. Should a defender make contact with an attacker while in the goal perimeter, their team is penalized with a direct attempt at the goal, with only one attacker on the seven-meter line and the defending goalkeeper involved.

Olympic Rings The Olympic symbolfive interlocked ringsrepresents the union of the five original major continents (Africa, America, Asia, Australia and Europe) and the meeting of the athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. The five colors of the rings from left to right are blue, black and red across the top and yellow and green along the bottom. The colors of the rings are thought to have been chosen because at least one of these colors can be found in the flag of every nation. Olympic Flag The Olympic Flag has a plain white background with no border. In the center are the five interlocked Olympic rings. The flag was presented by Baron Pierre de Coubertin in 1914 at the Olympic Congress is 1914, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the founding of the International Olympic Committee. It was flown that year at Alexandria, Greece, but made its Olympic debut in 1920 at Antwerp. The "primary" Olympic flag was thus known as "the Antwerp flag." In 1984, Seoul presented a new Olympic flag (as the old was getting quite worn) to the IOC, which was first flown at the 1988 Olympic Games.

International Handball Federation Game Handball - Handball Tournament - Handball Association The handball history vouches that the handball games always bounce back whenever they are down. The handball games have captured the imagination of the people all over the world. Team handball is a combination of soccer, basketball and ice hockey and is as popular as all these games. Handball tournaments have been held all over the world with the patronage of the International handball federation. The United states handball association has made handball equipments accessible to the players. It has also given tips about the handball rules. The rules are simple and are being widely followed in the handball tournaments throughout the world. Handball History The handball originated in the 11th century. The history of handball also states that this sport was developed in Ireland before being popularized in North America. Handball was played outdoors and it had a prominent place in the Irish legends. The ball was made of cloth wrapped in leather. The British soldiers and police along with the Irish players ensured the survival of the game. The handball history points out that handball was a one-wall game though the three-wall and the four-wall versions also existed. The Irish immigrants were responsible for developing the game in the U.S. The ball developed in the U.S was softer than the ball used in Ireland. The handballs are made from rubber or synthetic material. The handball has a hollow center which would enable it to bounce faster. The one-wall courts, which were forgotten, came into vogue again in the American bathing beaches. They were emulated by the athletic courts.

Extractions: Based on the basic elements of running, jumping and throwing the same elements of track and field it's not surprising that team handball has number ancient ancestors. Throwing-and-catching games are described by Homer in the "The Odyssey" and depicted in ancient Mexican art, and a game called Harpaston was apparently popular in ancient Rome. Europe, particularly Germany and the Scandinavian countries, was the crucible for the game, as we know it today. By the time the rules became instituted early in the 20th century, team handball would be a composite of several other popular sports, with rules similar to soccer (albeit without the kicking); positional play, scoring strategies and passing patterns resembling water polo; and ball movement and airborne acrobatics right out of basketball. All that with the intensity, speed and physical contact with hockey. An outdoor version of team handball also known as field ball played with 11 players a side made a false start at the Olympics with an appearance at the 1936 Berlin Games, with the Germans pleasing Hitler by winning the gold. It was dropped from the Olympic roster until 1972, by which time the 11-player outdoor game had been replaced by the seven-player indoor sport developed in Scandinavia. A women's Olympic tournament was added in 1976.

Extractions: Vol. 09, No. 02 Dear Reader: The International Olympic Committee's recently-published analysis of the Atlanta Olympic Games television coverage in the U.S. indicates that women made up 52% of the American viewing audience. NBC's cumulative audience in 1996 was a whopping 222.7% higher than its Barcelona 1992 audience. Viewership rose in several categories including increases of 46% for all adults aged 50 or older, 35% for women in the 35+ age group, and 31% for women in the 18+ age group. Viewership among young people grew at a much slower rate. For all viewers in the 12- to 24-year-old group there was only a 2% increase. Different strokes for different folks . . . Gymnastics drew the highest television rating among Olympic viewers in the U.S. The top-rated sport in Spain was tennis. In Brazil it was boxing. Germans favored fencing and judo. Italians liked volleyball best. The Chinese tuned into diving. South Koreans were glued to badminton coverage and South Africans to field hockey. Track and field led the way in Canada, France, Hong Kong, Japan and Great Britain. Add Different Strokes . . . Team handball was virtually invisible during NBC's coverage of the Atlanta Olympic Games. In Norway, though, it was big stuff.

Extractions: As expected both teams set upon a risky fast-paced play during the whole match. The aim is not only to score goals but also to make advantages for the offence: With one-on-one actions while running at full speed the attacker can make a dynamic advantage and thus also a 2-minute suspension for an opponent. In the match between ESP and GER the Spanish team was only some penalties away from making through to the semi-final. And at the end of the tournament they had to settle with 7th place after their victory over Korea who lost their motivation and power after the quarter-final. The performance of some of the first eight is equal. Often it depends on the shape of the day who of them will prevail. [29.08.04 06:13 CET]
