Handball

 

Played on a court or pitch 40m long by 20m, with goals that measure 3m wide by 2m in height, handball consists of two teams of seven, who aim to score as many goals against the opposing teams using only the hands. The game consists of two periods of 30 minutes each.In the first round, teams split into two groups. After a round-robin competition, the first four teams in each group qualify for the quarter-finals for single elimination play, which is followed by a final for the gold and silver medals and the losing semi-finalists contesting the bronze. More
