Iceland handballers to Beijing

IcelandIceland’s handball team have secured their place in the Beijing Olympics this summer after their shock victory over Sweden on Sunday.

Iceland played Sweden, Poland and Argentina at the weekend in a mini tournament to see which two of the four teams would qualify.

The team beat Argentina as widely expected, but lost to Poland. Hopes were dashed, as Iceland has a terrible record when it comes to beating Sweden.

After an entertaining game, Iceland managed to beat the Swedes 29-25 and ensure that they accompany Poland to Beijing.
