Norway women's handball team defeats Denmark and Netherlands

The Norwegian women's national handball team secured significant victories in the Golden League, defeating Denmark 34-25 and the Netherlands 38-23.

In the match against Denmark, star player Henny Reistad scored eleven goals. However, concerns arose regarding her physical condition after she was seen using an ice pack on her knee and was unable to play the second half of the second period. The extent of any potential injury remains uncertain.

In the victory over the Netherlands, 24-year-old Frida Brandbu Andersen earned widespread praise for her performance in her first start for the national team. Reistad acknowledged Andersen's impact, noting that the first half belonged to the younger player. This performance comes at a critical time as head coach Ole Gustav Gjekstad prepares to announce the final squad for the European Championship, which begins on December 3.
