That grouping makes me suspect that you're confusing the "handball" that's played at the Y on racquetball courts by overweight guys in singlets with Olympic Handball, which is a team sport where the objective is to put a ball into a goal, like soccer.

If you weren't confused, please accept my apologies, but as an Icelander I had to pipe up since Iceland is in the semis in Handball. It's a sport with a long tradition around the world, even if it's not that popular in North America.

(BTW in principle I agree that racquetball should be there. Certainly ahead of table tennis)
