ThSV Eisenach
Die Füchse Berlin feiern ihren vierten Pflichtspielsieg in Serie. Der deutsche Meister hat in der Daikin Handball-Bundesliga gegen den ThSV Eisenach mit 35:23 (19:13) keine Mühe. Zwischen den 8509 Zuschauern in der Max-Schmeling-Halle sitzt an diesem Tag ein ganz besonderer Fan.
Thomas Gröndahl, Papa und der erste Trainer von Füchse-Neuzugang Tobias (24) hat dazu gleich 16 Familienmitglieder (inklusive Bruder, Opa) und Freunde aus Norwegen vom Heimat-Klub Vestre Bærum mitgebracht. Sie alle feuern auf der Tribüne mit auffälligen Regenschirm-Hüten (darauf die norwegische Flagge) ihren Tobias an.

Papa Thomas verrät SPORT BILD: „Ich bin seit Sonnabend da und bleibe noch bis zum Pokalspiel gegen Wetzlar am Mittwoch, da fahre ich mit dem Auto hin. Insgesamt habe ich jetzt schon drei Spiele live gesehen, seit Tobias bei den Füchsen ist.“
Und Thomas schiebt nach: „Ich bin sein größter Fan und unheimlich stolz darauf, dass Tobias jetzt bei so einem Welt-Klub wie den Füchsen spielt. Das ist etwas ganz Besonderes. Ich bin inzwischen auch ein Riesenanhänger des ganzen Vereins.“

HBL: Dieser Fan kommt extra für diesen einen Spieler
Insgesamt kann die Gröndahl-Family gegen Eisenach vier Tore von Tobias bewundern. Handball gehört bei den Gröndahls zum Leben, wie die Currywurst zu Berlin. Vater, Mutter, Bruder und auch der Füchse-Star selbst, sie alle tragen beim Handballspielen die Rückennummer 15.
Gröndahl wechselte von GOG zu den Füchsen Berlin und ist einer der teuersten Transfers aus der dänischen Liga. Die Ablösesumme betrug laut dänischem Sender TV 2 rund 250.000 Euro.

Bei einem der besten Klubs der Welt mit dem besten Spieler der Welt.“) über seine Familie und lacht über die Kopfbedeckung, sagt zu SPORT BILD: „Es ist unglaublich, so viele Leute aus der Heimat hier zu haben, die mich so unterstützen. Sie genießen die Atmosphäre in der Arena extrem. Und sie machen keine halben Sachen, sondern geben alles – vor allem mit den Schirmhüten.“

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert addresses player criticism, CBA, officiating, job security
LAS VEGAS — After a week embroiled in criticism by players, WNBA commissioner Cathy Englebert used her annual address before Game 1 of the finals to vow to repair trust with the league’s players, create a new multi-stakeholder task force to evaluate WNBA officiating, and to reiterate that she believes she is well-positioned to take the league into the future.AdvertisementEngelbert also refuted some of the blistering accusations made by Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier earlier this week, specifically denying telling Collier in a private conversation last winter that Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark “should be grateful” for her lucrative endorsement deals because of the WNBA’s platforms.“Obviously, I did not make those comments,” Engelbert said. “There’s a lot of inaccuracies reported out there, and I certainly did not say that.”Engelbert said she and Collier have exchanged text messages and have plans […]
Pressure’s on Cubs, Brewers with NLCS berth at stake. But who’s feeling it more?
MILWAUKEE — In late July, Milwaukee Brewers mainstay Christian Yelich had a sly grin on his face when a couple of Chicago reporters asked about the rivalry with the Cubs.“It kind of feels like we’re just playing with house money,” he said that night. “They’re supposed to win the division. They’re supposed to have high expectations. … So if they don’t win the division, I’m sure it’ll be pretty disappointing.”AdvertisementThe teams were tied, or close to it, when he said it. This was before the trade deadline and before the Brewers reeled off 14 straight wins, sending the Cubs from a virtual tie atop the NL Central to a nine-game deficit in the span of a fortnight.The Cubs, of course, didn’t win the division. They finished five games behind the Brewers. While this playoff berth is the Cubs’ first in […]
Dodger Details: Lingering questions ahead of NLDS against the Phillies
PHILADELPHIA — The Los Angeles Dodgers are poised to remove some of the guardrails surrounding Shohei Ohtani’s usage as a pitcher. The time to rehab from his second major elbow surgery is over.“I just think he’s a normal starting pitcher now,” president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said. “Kind of eased him along. Just a normal starting pitcher.”AdvertisementA normal starting pitcher who, before taking the mound for the first time in the postseason in Game 1 on Saturday night, will step into the batter’s box as the Dodgers’ leadoff hitter against the Philadelphia Phillies’ Cristopher Sánchez. It’s an unprecedented moment in the modern history of the sport, and it’s finally happening. Ohtani wanted to prepare himself during Friday night’s workout, taking the tarp-covered mound and pantomiming his delivery to get the proper visual.“I’m sure I’ll be nervous at times,” Ohtani […]
