Done! After the men, the women of the German Handball Association also qualified for the Olympics in Paris.
Germany’s handball players are taking part in the Olympic Games for the first time in 16 years. The team of national coach Markus Gaugisch celebrated their second victory in the second game of the elimination tournament in Neu-Ulm on Saturday with a 28:24 (11:7) against European Championship third place Montenegro and booked the subsequent 14:32 defeat by outsiders Paraguay against Slovenia the Paris ticket early.
“I’m very happy that we got the job done. Congratulations to the team,” said Gaugisch.
The best German thrower in front of 4,269 spectators was Julia Maidhof. The backcourt player scored nine goals in her 50th international match. At the end of the tournament, the DHB selection, which has 4-0 points, will play the meaningless game against Paraguay on Sunday (1.30 p.m./ARD and Dyn). Slovenia and Montenegro are dueling for another Olympic ticket.
