Japan’s Head Coach, Ulrik Kirkely urges his team on at the World Championships
The Japanese Women’s National Handball Team had a breakthrough performance at the 2017 Women’s World Championships with wins against Montenegro and Tunisia, a draw vs Brazil, and a 1 goal loss to Russia in Group play. They then played arguably the most entertaining match of the tournament in the round of 16 losing by 2 goals in Extra Time to the eventual bronze medalists, the Netherlands.
Coach Kirkely and I discuss Japan’s performance at the World Championships, handball organization/development in Japan and the future prospects for the Women’s team heading into the 2019 World Championships and 2020 Olympics, both of which will be hosted by Japan.

Ever go online to try and live stream a great handball match only to get the dreaded geo block notice telling you that the match isn’t available in your country? When you would even be happy to pay to see it, but can’t even do that because the network that owns the rights chooses not to broadcast? Sometimes it just makes you want to give up and go watch some more football.
Well, I can’t guarantee you that Nord VPN will solve all your handball viewing problems. I can only state, that I personally am a very happy camper now and with plans as low as $3.29/month it’s worth every penny and then some.
Finally, I bet you’ve seen the ads from sketchy websites offering you matches for free as long as you download their customized video player. And, after hesitating a bit you caved in only to be inflicted with incredibly slow computer speeds or worse, viruses. That’s a legitimate concern with those sites, but not with Nord VPN which has top ratings and reviews from PC Mag, Wired and others.
