|
|
HANDBALL A new copper-clad
Handball Arena is to be constructed in the Olympic Park at
Newham, London, close to the Olympic Village. Glass will
encircle the lower part of the building to allow visitors to
view sports happening inside.
After the closing ceremony the Arena will be turned into a
multi-sports venue - with retractable seating for 6,000
spectators – to cater for a number of indoor sports including
basketball, handball, badminton, netball and volleyball.
Handball first entered the Olympic Games at the 1936 Games in
Berlin when it had teams of 11 men. The modern seven-a-side
game appeared in 1972 at Munich.
The 2012 competition will take place between
(July 28 and August 12).
