Despite the fact that South Korea won the women’s gold medal注in both 1988 and 1992, and that over eight million people from over 150 countries play it, handball is largely considered a European-only sport. In fact, ask many Americans what they think handball is, and they’ll probably describe a game similar to 1)racquetball with two competitors 2)slapping a small ball off a wall with their hands. Not so.
The easiest way to describe handball is “soccer with the hands instead of the feet.” Much like soccer, it can be both physical and fast, with 3)shots being thrown at speeds 4)approaching 65 miles per hour. The sport used to be played on a large 5)turf field with 11 players per side, but has more recently been moved indoors and played with seven players, which has sped up the game even more.
The object is to score more goals than the other team by throwing a ball (somewhat smaller than a soccer ball) into the net. Games 6)consist of two 30-minute halves. Players can only take three steps after catching the ball, and can only hold the ball for three seconds before they must either pass, 7)dribble (like basketball), or shoot. A 8)defender can use his/her hands or body to 9)block a ball but can’t use the feet or lower legs (except for 10)goalies). Like soccer, free throws, corner throws, and 11)penalty throws become an 12)integral part of the game.
There will be twelve men’s handball teams and twelve women’s teams 13)participating in the Beijing Games. They will each be divided into two groups for a 14)round-robin series. The top four teams from each group advance to the quarterfinals where it becomes a single-15)elimination 16)tourney. The competition will be held at Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium as well as National Indoor Stadium.

Handball is one of the most popular sports in the world. It’s played the world over by around 150 nations. At least 15 million people from 17)all walks of life get involved. And with good reason! There’s something in it for everyone: it keeps you fit and healthy; it’s fast and fun; and it promotes 18)diverse 19)strategies and 20)tactics.
So what are you waiting for? There are competitions for guys, girls and kids. 21)Give it a shot!
尽管1988年和1992年的(奥运)女子手球金牌均由韩国夺得,尽管世界上150多个国家里有超过八百万人玩手球,手球仍被普遍认为是一种仅属于欧洲的运动。事实上,要是你问美国人他们眼中的手球是什么,他们可能会将其描述为一种类似于短拍壁球的运动——由两名参加者用手将一个小球击向墙壁使之反弹。其实并非如此。
简而言之,手球就是“用手而不是脚玩的足球”。玩手球就像踢足球一样,即耗体力又求速度,投球射门时球速接近每小时65英里(约每小时104千米)。以前手球运动通常在草场上进行,每方各有11名球员。但近年来已经移至室内,每队只有7名球员。这种改变更进一步提高了运动的速度。
手球的目标是将球(比足球稍小)掷进网内,进球多者胜。比赛分上下半场,各为30分钟。球员接球后只能移动三步,并且只能持球三秒,此后必须将球传出、运球(类似篮球)或射门。防守球员可以用手或身体挡球,但不能用脚或小腿(守门员除外)。和足球一样,任意球、角球和点球都是构成比赛的一部分。
北京奥运会上将有12支男子手球队和12支女子队参加角逐。男子组和女子组各将分成两组进行循环赛。每组中胜出的前四支队伍将进入四分之一决赛——此阶段采取的是一场定胜负的淘汰赛。比赛将在奥体中心体育馆和国家体育馆进行。
你也来参与吧!
手球是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一。它风靡全球,足迹遍及150个国家,至少有1500万各行各业的人参与这种运动。道理显而易见!每个人都可以在手球运动里找到适合自己的东西:它让你保持健康好身材,速度快又好玩,还需要运用各种策略和战术。
你还等什么呢?小伙子、小姑娘和孩子们都能参加比赛。快来一显身手吧!
手球运动的历史
手球运动起源于欧洲。19世纪末,捷克斯洛伐克、德国、丹麦等国出现类似手球的游戏。1917年德国柏林体育教师海泽尔(M. Heiser)为女子设计了一种集体游戏,规定运动员只能用手传递或接抛球,双方身体不得接触。1919年柏林另一位体育教师舍伦茨(K. Schelenz)对海泽尔的游戏有所改进,规定持球者传球前可跑3步,允许双方身体接触。1920年制定竞赛规则。1925年德国与奥地利举行首次国际手球赛。后逐渐在世界各国开展。

比赛规则
1928年举行首届世界男子手球锦标赛,1957年起举办世界女子手球锦标赛,手球比赛最初每队运动员为11名,又称十一人制手球。1965年改为每队7名运动员。手球场地长40米,宽20米,有一中线将场地分为两个相等的半场。两端各有一个球门,球门高2米,宽3米。球用皮革或合成材料制成,重425-475克,女子用球重325-400克。全场比赛时间为60分钟,分上、下两个半时,每半时为30分钟,中间休息10分钟。进1球得1分,以射入对方球门多者为胜。男、女手球分别于1936年和1976年被列为奥运会比赛项目。
