Denmark with Hansen and Jacobsen is world champion

AWhen Mikkel Hansen got a blood clot in his lungs after knee surgery in March 2022 and was hospitalized for a long time, he wasn’t thinking about the next wins or big titles. “I just hoped to get well again and be able to play handball,” said Hansen. “On the other hand, it was also very good to be away from the field and to get a sense of how happy I can be for what I do and how I live.” After his release, he was treated with blood-thinning drugs treated and had handball ban. Hansen only reported back in August 2022, now no longer in the dress of Paris St. Germain, but in Aalborg in northern Jutland. That’s where his great career should end.

Mikkel Hansen, three times world handball player of the year, speaks softly, in a hoarse voice, you can hardly understand him. And he rarely talks. This is one of the reasons why his statements on Sunday evening just before midnight were remarkable. They added depth to what was happening in Stockholm’s arena: there is more than throws and goals. There are vulnerable people like you and me. No superheroes.
