Hungary secure place in Olympics qualification tournament

Hungary secure place in Olympics qualification tournament

Fri Jan 28 2011

Thanks to their 31:28 win over Poland the Hungarian team didn’t only reach the seventh place at this World Championship but booked their ticket for the Olympics qualification tournaments in April 2012. Poland ranks eight in the end and have to hope for one of the free places for those tournaments which will be decided at the European Championship 2012

Placement match 7/8:

Poland – Hungary 31:28 (16:14)

The spectators saw a first half like a roller coaster, Hungary was in front 3:0 but couldn’t keep the lead, as Poland improved and on their hand extended the gap to 12:8 and 14:10. But suddenly everything changed completely, as Poland lost their rhythm in attacks. It only took some minute, as Hungary had equalized at 14:14, then went to the dressing rooms with a 16:14 lead and even extended it to five goals at 19:14. But nothing was decided as Poland rose like Phoenix from ashes again, but couldn’t come closer than to a two goal gap at 28:30. A penalty goal, scored by Gergö Ivancsik – his eleventh goal in total, decided the game atleast.

And it could have been even better if we'd had arrived earlier. Iceland would have been no problem at all. Still it's a great result. Szép volt, fiúk!

This is a grat result for us. Hungary is one of the ten best teams in the world with a very-very balanced result. /World championship 2007 6th place, 2003 6th place/ Mocsai is a trainer with a huge knowledge for handball. He is a real professor. Nagy Laci we are still waiting for you your place is among us despite the fact that it is not easy to be a Hungarian. Please talk to Sterbik Árpi he should also return home to his real national team. He could listen to the national anthem as his own. We still have player who colud not be here /Nagy László, Eklemovics Nikola, Laluska/ and we have a supertalent Ancsin Gábor /Löwen/ Our team gave a huge performance as it was menthally one of the strongest in the championship and it won the most important games agains Norway, Germany and Poland. We are still going to be better and stronger.
