Danish matches |
14.-16. December 2001 See my news section for the individual matches. The team members you find presented on the players' list and on the general player info page.
Group B: Sweden 10, Hungary 8, Spain 6 and Angola 4. Out of the tournament: Rumania and Congo Group C: Russia 10, Jugoslavia 7, Austria 7, South Korea 4. Out of the tournament:: Japan and Greenland (the latter just thrilled to be part of it all and maybe the happiest of all losers) Group: Norway 10, Slovenia 8, Brazil 6, Italy 4. Out of the tournament: Tunesia and Uruguay Big surprises are Sweden and China. The level is surprisingly low with most teams. The genereal development is unfortunately that many players put all their energy into league teams and choose not to be part of the national teams. In Denmark two examples are Tonje Kjærgaard and Heidi Astrup. Matches played in Italy: Even though the Danes reached the goal set by coach Pytlick (amongst the first six teams), the loss of the two last matches seemed a big blow, because it would have been possible to win if only.... The Danes are still too inexperienced and compared to the two opponents East European playing style and sheer body volume, they are too small and more technically refined. They simply got tired struggling with these big women. |

The team for the WCh in 1999 for comparison. The Danish players of the "good old days"
meaning the team, which culminated with the gold medals at the Olympics
in Atlanta in 96. |

Amongst the audience you will also find the players of Viborg, who helps coaching the Greenlandic team a bit. You may also see Anja Andersen, who has one of her Slagelse players as part of the Danish national team (Mette Meelgaard) plus a few other international players. Hong is not amongst them. |
