Handball

Hi everybody,

I would like to talk to you about Handball; Handball is the French sport in which are won most competition. The first competition was won in 1995, five years later they won again. “Les barjots” (the nickname of the team) became world champions. Earlier, the team had finished third in the olympic games of Barcelona in 1992 and second in world competition in 1993.

Since, the name of the team has changed twice, and the team won a lot of competitions.

In 2001 after the victory in the world championship, many players stoped playing like Jackson Richardson.
The new nickname was then “les costauds”. This team won the European championship in 2006. One year later they lost against the German team in semi final. The referee was paid by the German team (allegedly, because he was very unfair for the French team).

In 2008 the team name changed again they became: “les experts”. They win for the first time the Olympique game 2008. And one year later they won for the third time the world championship in 2009.
