Damn, I fell asleep in the 4th set. Well in chicks.
Lad, I'd still love her. Even without legs.
The court would need some mopping then mate.

I didn't realise they didn't have any funding! They had to raise cash themselves. These girls really, really wanted it.
Shows how shameful this country is in regards to grass roots sports. It's an Olympic event and they still couldn't be arsed to fund it.
The cutting of funding seems to be a common theme, I know that the handball girls went over to Norway to go to college and play in the league over there (then possibly Denmark), they were funded as those in charge asked them to do it, once they were over there and sort of established, with the carrot of the Olympics there in front of them, the funding was cut.
Still want the dream ? get anyone and everyone to help you out as we aint any more.
It's a disgrace really as the Olympic committee want them there, and in the case of the girl that I know it has been all she has worked towards since the age of 14 when we got the games, she did everything they asked i.e. move to Norway away from her family at a very young age really, the idea of the funding is so that they can concentrate on playing handball, yet they all found themselves having to take part time work instead of training due to the cost of living there. It would've served them right if the team had pulled out as a boycott at the 11th hour. Holly will be OK as she has signed for the current European Champions and will play in the Champions League next season, but some of the others will now after the games need to create a career, some 5 years after their peers did.
