The head that never says stop – VG

Imagine that you have been away from what you love for years and have been through so much work and injuries that most people had abandoned a long time ago. Then you finally play the grand finale that you have dreamed of again.

Three minutes before the end, he makes a mistake that can be fatal. Who wouldn’t have felt anxiety and insecurity? Who wouldn’t have been connected when Estelle Nze Minko took advantage of a fog ball and made it 20-20?

Should it fail?

Should the biggest star mistake be the story of this European Championship final?

In the of.

Because Nora Mørk not only has otherworldly handball physical skills, but she has grit and a will to never give up, which is one of the things that makes the best sports at their best so fascinating. It is no coincidence that the former are the best when it comes to. After a demanding match, of course, Nora Mørk stood out, and ensured that the legacy of the European Championship final in Denmark was not about Nze Minko at all. Immediately afterwards, Mørk’s 21-20 hand sent Norway back to the top, and they ended up scoring two of Norway’s last four goals.

That a penalty to the butt made the phrase not entirely perfect, we can only hope that even a perfectionist like Mørk will put minimal emphasis on that, all the time, a race that could actually have ended has a new ceiling.

In an otherwise demanding year, where on this day we can give a respite to the discussions about the crown of principles, it is a fact that there is some “luck in misfortune” only for Mørk, as the Tokyo Olympics are they postponed a year.

History shows that we can’t take anything for granted in terms of age 29 and injuries, but now the arrows are hopefully pointing in the right direction for a player who has had to fight back a lot more than most of us had thought.

Nora Mørk is now a quadruple European champion and has also brought with her a variant of the two noblest denominations in the context of the World Cup. But the memories of the tears of August 19, 2016, when a boom from Camilla Herrem decided that Russia reached the Olympic final in Rio de Janeiro, have probably been very crucial to mentally bear that the body has constantly opposed her. After the knee cost him dearly in recent years, there is good hope that a handball story where the peaks have been as high as the valleys have been deep can make the biggest dream come true at the end.

In this case, it’s not just a physical achievement of how rare that Nora Mørk has shown what is possible as long as she wants it badly enough. It’s probably an athlete’s story that gives the word “scout” its own dimension.
