Kiel handball team for challenges
The preparation of the THW Kiel for the coming season in the handball Bundesliga is difficult by the absence of important players. A total of nine actors are currently not available because they take part in the Olympic Games.
Situation of the Olympian
In the current situation, the THW lacks the following players: the national goalkeeper Andreas Wolff and his colleague Rune Dahmke (replacement), the Norwegians Harald Reinkind and Petter Özger, Kroate Domagoj Duvnjak, Swede Karl Wallinius, French Samir Bellahcene (replacement), Dane Magnus Landin and Hungarian Imre. Your absence is a special challenge because you occupy important positions in the team.
Integration of new and young talents
In order to cope with the situation, coach Filip Jicha decided to fill the squad with players from the third division and their own offspring. This means that players of the TSV Altenholz are added to the squad, while talents from the youth department are integrated. This measure is intended to ensure that the team remains competitive during the absence of the Olympian.
Preparation for the new season
The official season preparation began on July 25, 2024, but only eight players are currently in training. Jicha plans to overwrite the "software of the national teams" on August 16 when the returning Olympic participants are integrated again. Jicha is optimistic that the team will then be ready to build on the successes of the past few years.
Future view
The THW Kiel strives for a much better placement than in the previous season, in which fourth place was taken. The first game of the season is on September 5, 2024 against the Rhein-Neckar Löwen. The return of the absent and the integration of new talents could be crucial for the success of the team in the upcoming season.
