Question

Why do you Eastern European Countries seem to be better in Handball than WEstern Countries?

Answer 1

Manny it's not just eastern European countries. Handball is one of the most popular sports in pretty much all of Europe, particularly in following countries - Germany, Spain, France, Russia, Sweden, Norway, Iceland, Denmark, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland... and so on.

I believe that the main reason why Europeans are so incredibly dominant in this sport is because there is so much more interest for it here then anywhere else in the world. All these countries that I mentioned before have very rich handball tradition and really invest a lot in this sport. They give players huge contracts, offer them a lot of money and look to improve their leagues and find new talent all the time (this goes particularly for German and Spanish league, but all others previously mentioned are very close behind). So it's no wonder really when their national teams completely dominate every international competition that they take part in.

In fact in recent time, from the rest of the world, only the national team of Tunisia, which is also a country with rich handball tradition, has been able to do something meaningful against Europeans. But all in all Germany, Spain, Croatia, Sweden, Russia and France are the teams to be looking out for before everyone else when ever some major handball championship is taking place.

addition

Red Sox fan, yes handball is a sport, a great one too. Fact that you don't know about it doesn't make it less important or interesting then baseball, football, hockey or any other sport out there. It just makes you badly informed.
