SPANISH SPORTS received a shot in the arm in a spectacular fashion when the Spanish National Handball Team proclaimed themselves 2013 WORLD CHAMPIONS on home turf in the "Palau St Jordi" Stadium of the city of Barcelona.
SPAIN which organized the the Handball World Championships won DENMARK the current European Champions in the final with a crushing 35 - 19 & thus win their second World title, the first being 8 years back (Tunisia 2005).
No one would have believed beforehand that the final would be so one-sided after Denmark crushed Croatia ( which finished third ) in the semi-finals. Spain went in super concentrated & took the Danes by surprise with fierce attacking & with an impenetrable defence, special mention here to adopted Spanish goalie Sterbik (14 saves).
The second half continued the same way with Spain attacking & scoring more gaols while wearing down the moral & strength of the Danes which dropped their shoulders to the reality that they were being overrun, out played & well beaten. Mention here to Spaniard Cañellas for his seven goals.
Historical victory for Spanish Handball & Sports. Congratulations guys!
