even though she was on the height of her career. She later stated it was the
worst defeat she had ever experiences. Trained herself back on court again
and was chosen for the brutto team to WC in 97 but twisted her ankle and blew
her chance again. Stopped her career in 98 (playing for Viborg). Sold clothes

The players of yesterdayBelow you can read a little about those of the players, whom we no longer can enjoy seeing on the national team. Many resigned after the Olympics in 2000 and others left before that due to injuries. If you miss the "Golden
team" of the 90's - the Atlanta Gold winners of the Olympics in
96 - I can tell you, that you are not the only one.. Ulrik Wilbek has
stated, that such a talented team is only gathered once in a hundred
years and so we will not see anything like it again. Read more about
the players' results during the previous
championships and which players performed in each championship.. The national team list of the World
Championship 1999. |
