[Olympics] Korea is the Most Scoring Country in Handball History… Total of 2,870 Goals

It has been reported that the country with the most goals in Olympic handball is Korea.

According to the official information site of the 2024 Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, MyInfo, on the 23rd, Korea has scored the most goals in Olympic handball matches, with 2,870 goals scored across both men and women.

This is because the Korean women's handball team has advanced to the Olympic finals 11 times in a row, from the 1984 Los Angeles Games to this Games.

The 11 consecutive Olympic finals is the longest record for both men's and women's handball.

Korea also has played a total of 106 games in Olympic handball, both men's and women's, and is tied for first place with France.

However, France participated in both men's and women's competitions at this year's Paris Olympics, while Korea only advanced to the women's competition, so it is highly likely that France will take sole first place after this competition ends.

Korea is also tied for first place with France and Norway in terms of the countries with the most medals in Olympic Handball History.

Korea has won seven Olympic handball medals, including two gold, four silver, and one bronze, with the women's team winning gold in Seoul in 1988 and Barcelona in 1992.

France has four gold, two silver, and one bronze, and Norway has two gold, two silver, and three bronze.

Our country also holds the record for most goals scored in a single match.

The 79 goals scored by the Netherlands in their 43-36 win over Korea in the women's group stage of the 2021 Tokyo Olympics is the highest number of goals scored in a single Olympic game.

The record for the most goals scored by a team in a single game is also 47 goals scored by Denmark against Japan (47-30 win) in the men's group stage of the last Tokyo Olympics.

The largest margin of victory is 34 goals scored by Yugoslavia in the men's match at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, when they defeated Kuwait 44-10.

The French men's national team is attempting to advance to the finals for the fifth consecutive time in this tournament.

France won the tournament in 2008, 2012, and 2020, and took the silver medal in 2016.

The Korean women's national team will play Germany in their first group match at the Paris Olympics on the 25th (Korean time).
