    Thomas Exner's statement before the Olympic qualifying match: “I can become a monk”

– A team that has no place at all in the Olympic qualifiers. It was a quick fix by the International Handball Federation (IHF). It's a team that hasn't played in one of Sweden's top divisions, says Union captain Thomas Aksner.

Lowest average age: “Looks young”

As the host nation, Great Britain automatically qualified for the Olympic Games in London 2012. There was one win and -75 on goal difference.

There were no further championships for Great Britain, which has the lowest average age of the twelve teams currently qualifying for the Olympics.

– They look very young, says Len Blom, whose Swedish national team has an average age of 26.9 years.

Great Britain and Sweden have met once before: in 1986. Sweden then won 25-8. If Sweden wins tomorrow, along with Hungary, they will be ready to compete in the Olympic Games this summer in Paris.
