PARIS — After almost two weeks at the Paris Olympics, I’m convinced that handball is the greatest sport ever invented.
It’s like ’80s-style NBA hoops played inside a rave. The most action you can possibly imagine squeezed into a 60-minute match. The best players might look like graceful ballerinas while flying in to score goals. But they better watch out; if they’re not careful, they could get thwacked in the throat. It’s like cardio mixed with combat sports. Like soccer — if I actually thought soccer was fun.
