Olympic Handball
Has anyone else seen this yet? It's like basketball with a smaller ball. You can only take two or three steps without dribbling or passing. But instead of a basket, there's a goal and a goalkeeper like in soccer. There's an arc around the goal area that looks similar to the 3 point line in basketball, but apparently only the goalie can play the ball inside the arc. Everybody else has to be outside. It's pretty weird, but entertaining.

I use to play this in grade school all the time. It's pretty fun to be honest with you. I haven't had the chance to watch it during the Olympics this year. But if I do have a chance to watch it, then I'll defenitely do, because it's very entertaining to watch. I'm glad it's in the Olympics because it deserves to be there.
"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Babe Ruth

No I haven't seen that one yet. I keep missing it. Anyone have a site link to see events that have already happened? I looked on MSN but couldn't find anything.

That's actually where I watch a lot of the events live, but you can watch replays there too. |

Handball is very big in here. I hope they get a medal. They successfully beat Croatia (one of the good teams) last Thursday in their preliminary round.
When I watch handball games, I think of basketball and hockey.

I love handball it's a lot of fun we play that in P.E. now it's a pretty new sport I believe.
"Ohh! OOOhhh!!!-Oh and again! I made it. I know it. I can't see it but I know I made it. Oh my God I made it. Alright, don't give up. This is for everything. This is when I don't have to do it. This one right here is when I don't have to do it, which leaves nothing else but the one. No I don't think so. Not there. God I wish I could turn the volume-OH **** Aahhh son of a **** I talk too much. ****." - 00vega -

If anyone gets a chance to see the Women's Handball semis game between Norway and Korea...go see it. Great game.

Speaking of which, our Men's team will meet Croatia for the semis tomorrow. This is crucial for Croatia because they're last Olympics' gold winner and they want to defend their title.

I saw the end of the Korea/Norway game...unbelievable finish to say the least.
