The Anatomy of a World Champion: Handball
Determining the type of player that participates in a World Championship intrigues me. This article examines the players who made up season 4’s World Championship Game for handball.

Maybe it's me but isn't it a little strange that Europe generally favours parity in the form of socialism for its people, but not its sports leagues while North America generally supports franchise parity for its sports leagues but skimps on the same form of socialism for its people?
