The current world cup tournament in handball has started in a very promising way for Sweden. 3 wins in 3 days in the group play so far. I have only managed to watch the game against South Korea yesterday. It's funny to look at the Koreans. Very quick and intensive players, but a bit to short overall to become champions on the global level. They have dominated handball in Asia all through modern history (7 times Asian champions out of 11 possible). Koreans are very good in sports in general and people there are also very much into healthy activities. Seoul has outdoor gym's all over the city, in parks and along the Han river.

During the handball match against Sweden they were not just smaller, they didn't have more Kim's in the team than Sweden. One each and our Andersson was better and much bigger. Otherwise 10% of the Korean population is called Kim. Also very common is Lee and Park. Another funny thing is that more or less everyone has double-names just like me.

Today South Korea managed to beat Kuwait, but I'm afraid that they wont make it through to the next round. They need to beat Spain now. Viva La Korea!
