Olympia-Test - Handball players defeat Hungary
Germany's handball women celebrated an important test match victory just before the start of the Olympics. A few days after the loss against Brazil, the team coached by Markus Gaugisch won in Stuttgart against Hungary with a score of 30:29 (15:11). In front of 5,022 spectators, Emily Bölk, Xenia Smits, Julia Maidhof, and Antje Döll scored four goals each for Germany. The men's team also won against Hungary with a score of 33:29 (20:13).
The Olympic trial match rises again for the DHB women on Sunday against Brazil. Then it goes on to Paris, where the first group match against South Korea is scheduled for Thursday. Other group opponents are Slovenia and the Scandinavian handball powerhouses Sweden, Norway, and Denmark.
Immer wieder Katharina Filter
The DHB women suffered a faulty start and could only keep the deficit in check thanks to strong saves from goalkeeper Katharina Filter. After 20 minutes, Döll rewarded her team for their performance improvement and scored the equalizer, followed by a 9:8 lead. Germany then played with significantly more tempo and minimized simple ball losses.
After the break, the hosts gave away some high-value opportunities. The lead did not shrink despite this, thanks to goalkeeper Filter once again. However, the 25-year-old could not parry every shot, and the Hungarians came back to tie the score and even took a two-goal lead about nine minutes before the end. Thanks to Annika Lotts last-minute goals, Germany managed to secure the victory in the end.
