The Olympic qualifier in handball, which was to be played on 17-19 April 2020, was postponed due to the corona pandemic - and instead takes place just over six weeks after the World Cup.
"Tough Olympic qualifier"
- Now you are going into a tough Olympic qualifier with Germany, Slovenia, Algeria in Germany.
And it is important to be among the top two.
It is important that you start at the level you finished in this championship, says SVT's expert Magnus Grahn in the Morning Studio and continues.
- It will be very interesting to see that this is not just a one-time event and then nothing more happens.
Due to injuries and covid-19, several Swedish players refused to participate in the World Cup.
For the Olympic qualifiers, Grahn believes that there are many players who aspire to a number of positions.
- This makes it a great challenge for Glenn Solberg, the national team captain, to try to see which players he should bring.
"Never seen Sweden play so disciplined"
Yesterday, Sweden lost the World Cup final against Denmark by 24-26 - but won a World Cup silver.
How come such an inexperienced team did so well?
- It has talked to each other and not trained that much, and Sweden were enormously disciplined in their attacking play.
I have never seen Sweden play so disciplined.
