VIDEO: “Goodbye Hungarian handball queen”

The Hungarian handball queen Anita Gorbicz said “goodbye” to the national team jersey with a small ceremony before the home match against Netherlands last week in Gyor.

The 35-years old playmaker of Hungarian TOP team Gyori Audi ETO KC got standing ovations from the crowd, all handball people who followed his career since 2000.
