I am settling in to review email, start an article for the paper, and, of course, probably just as you are, watch Team Handball (M – GER v IND, Match 33 in Pool B). I know you want your update.
But first, remember this?

Now to the important stuff.
(Germany just scored the 1st Goal, btw.)
Handball played outdoors as field handball. The sport first appeared at the Berlin 1936 Games.
Some say that Handball is like liturgical dance.
I know.. it’s not Curling.

Not to belittle team handball, I still prefer gymnastics.
So, what’s the deal? The USA doesn’t field a handball team or we were eliminated in the first round? I can’t help feeling it looks like something kids would play at recess, in between Red Rover and dodgeball. Apologies in advance to all the fans.
Haven’t seen this team handball but singles are played in every private men’s club in the US…isn’t it?
Singles handball is like racketball without the racket. Team handball is like water polo without the water.
It’s big in Scandinavia. I walked into a McDonald’s in Copenhagen and there was a crowd gathered around a TV in the corner. I thought maybe there was a big news story or something, Nope, a handball game. Youda thought it was the Superbowl or a Red’s game or something.
BTW Most non-Americans throw like girls.
I really admired Mary Lou– so much I had my hair cut like hers. Yes, I admired her talent, too, but couldn’t even do a cartwheel.
I caught an Olympic team handball game on TV he other night- I LIKE IT! I think it would be great fun to try.
Sorry – but I still can’t get into the curling thing.
Thanks, I saw that while eating lunch today and wondered what the heck that was.
Would rather watch diving or swimming. I am so happy for Michael Phelps and wow Katie Ledecky. Missy Frankin too.
It’s all very inspiring. Off to swim my daily mile . . . but at 45 minutes don’t think I will be winning any medals!
WIth no TV, I have to content myself with hearing the results on the radio at night. The only Olympics event that’s being broadcast is the mens’ basketball.
But I rejoice in the medals won by our swimmers, especially Michael Phelps! I hope he goes out with a big splash [pun intended] tonight and gets his 22nd medal!
I’m also happy that Team Great Britain is doing well; I think it’s fourth in the medal standings, behind the US, China, and the Russian Federation.
Go USA! Go Team GB!
