Your favorite Olympic sport actually exists outside of the Olympics! I talked to two American handball experts about Team USA's hopes at this year's World Championships.
I played intramural handball while studying in Germany (checks math) 10 years ago and also went to a few local club games.
It's an awesome sport and much more fun, at least in my experience, to play as a beginner than basketball. It was also nice to have an excuse to get in people's face and throw my weight around friendly competition in ways that would have earned fouls in basketball or soccer while still not being nearly as violent and injury-inducing as football or rugby.
Why Norway?

Thanks Rodger! Which eccentric billionaire do you think would be the one to throw in a crapton of money to get a pro league started here?
Excellent, excellent stuff, Rodger, appreciate it
Thanks for the info! I hope you do a recap of the tournament once it ends
