Mia Hundvin in the quarterfinals
(Match against Romania in Sydney Olympics: Norway-Romania 28-16 (12-8)

Dagbladet concludes their assessment that left winger Mia Hundvin, together with keeper Heidi Tjugum, were the best Norwegian players against Romania. Newspaper extracts about Mia Hundvin’s contribution:

This is the way we want her: To not be tricked on defence, aggressive in attacks and self-confident in scoring, both alone with the goalkeeper and from the wing. She scored six goals out of seven attempts - two from the left wing and four (in four attempts) after speeding in alone against the goalkeeper. This represents Mia-effectiveness more than anything.

1-1 Mia Hundvin scores.

2-1 Mia snatches the ball on defence, runs against the keeper and scores again!

5-2 Mia snatches the ball. Tonje Larsen throws the ball back to Mia, she hands the ball to Kristine Duvholt who scores.

24-12 Romanians stop Hundvin in an illegal manner. Norway gets a penalty shot. Kjersti Grini scores.
