TÓQUIO 2020
Andebol nos JO de Tóquio 2020Handball at the Tokyo Olympics
July 23, 2021 - August 8, 2021 - Os Jogos Olímpicos de Verão 2020, os Jogos da XXXII Olimpíada, têm lugar em Tóquio, no Japão. Na competição de andebol, há um torneio masculino e outro feminino, ambos com 12 seleções. Após a fase de grupos, as oito primeiras seleções disputam a fase a eliminar.
Handball is a fast-paced game involving two teams of seven players who pass, throw, catch and dribble a small ball with their hands while trying to score goals. The team with the most goals wins the game. A game consists of two 30-minute halves with a 10-minute half-time break.
Players can only hold the ball for up to three seconds before passing, dribbling or shooting, and they may take a maximum of three steps while holding it.
Only the defending goalkeeper is allowed inside the goal line (within 6 meters of the goal). However, players may jump into this area when attempting a shot but must release the ball before landing.
