It's a pretty spectacular game; for a sport that is almost never heard of in Australia. Denmark is playing Russia at the moment on SBS, and before, an exciting game in which South Korea defeated Iceland by 1 goal.

I was typing in "and this match ends in a draw", because looking at that, I thought he had no chance. Amazing.

What a shot!

I'm really enjoying watching the handball. I remember playing it in school, but we never threw ourselves into the shots like these guys!

I'd rather watch Handball than meaningless heats of swimming.

It's a great game to watch and last olympics I started understanding some of the rules (previously I couldn't work any of them out). You can't see this sport besides olympics and even then there isn't enough of it on.

The 7 sight actually had it :shock: MIRACLE GOAL

Click on the Russian v Danish game link ! Unbelievable. To make it even worse for the Russians, the Danes subbed the Keeper
for a field player, the field player was stuck in the attacking half, and the Russians basically had a free throw which missed ! :shock:
No keeper in goal, just had to get it straight, and then bingo, the Danes get the free throw, and boy what a throw it was !

The commentary is great...he'd got basically no chance of getting this :lol:
