stine often celebrated as one of the most successful players in the history of handball. In 2019 she was elected world handball player of the year and triumphed with the Norwegian national team at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024. Rune Dahmke, who has been running for the THW Kiel since 2012, also made great progress with his team and secured the silver medal at the Olympic Games a year earlier.

Both athletes not only celebrated great success in the field, but also linked a strong band to each other, despite challenges such as a long long -distance relationship. Stine was active as a player at the Hungarian club Győri Eto KC until the birth of Amelie, but has announced that it would end her sporting career after the Olympic victory in 2024 to devote himself entirely to the mother role.

handball and its history

The history of handball goes back to the 20th century when the Dane Holger Nielsen published the first rules in 1906. The game developed over the years, with field handball and indoor handball being popular in various periods. Handball is a sport that is enthusiastic about its fast pace and team dynamics and is firmly anchored in European sports culture.

Since the first international matches that took place in 1925, handball has become a globally valued discipline. The 1936 Olympic Games are particularly remarkable, in which field handball was launched as an Olympic discipline. Today handball is played not only in the hall, but also on the beach, with beach handball that came up in the 1990s and wins more and more fans.

With Amelie, the handball couple Dahmke now has a new challenge from the chest, which in the best case could outshine the joy and pride of their previous successes. It is quite possible that we will also hear from a small handball player Amelie in the future - the signs for it seem to be good!
