| The finals was a nightmare: after prolonged time and biting of nails, Anja missed the decisive penalty shot a few minutes before ordinary time was over. But...then the whirlwind started and the result: The greatest victory ever - and worth all the years of training and all troubles encountered and overcome along the way to the top! Perhaps it was not the sport that most people around the world followed on the screen, but for the Danes, it was a national miracle. The match is still considered the best played in women's team handball ever! | |||
