.
in 1946, was met with great public interest. The game ended 2-5 in favour of Sweden. During the fifties and sixties women's handball had a relatively low profile in Norway. The national team regularly paricipated at the Scandinavian Championships, and they qualified for the World Championships in 1971, 1973, 1975 and 1982, placing 7th and 8th.
coached the national team for ten years, from 1984 to 1993.

coached the team for fifteen years, from 1994 to 2009. She led the team to six gold medals in international championships. Their achievements included gold medals at the 1999 World Championships, four gold medals at the European Championships between 1998 and 2008, and gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics. Their usual tactics included a strong 6-0 defense and frequent fast breaks on offense.
at the 2007 World Championship
, Norway faced two important challenges in 2008: Olympic Games in August and European Championship in December. The team eventually succeeded in winning their first Olympic gold medal, and they also won the European Championship.
Norway had qualified for the 2008 Summer Olympics
by winning the 2006 European Championship
. The preparation for Beijing
started months before the competition started, but the final squad wasn't decided until the last weeks. Several players who had trained with the team up to this point were left out or kept as reserves, most notably Isabel Blanco
and Terese Pedersen
. There were no debuts in the group selected by Marit Breivik
, but veteran Tonje Larsen
made her comeback to the team after five years of struggle with injury. Gro Hammerseng
maintained her usual role of team captain, with Else-Marthe Sørlie Lybekk
and Gøril Snorroeggen
completing the "captains team" as vice-captains.
The competition for the Norwegian team started on 9 August against the host, China
. They defeated the Chinese 30-26 and then went on to win comfortably against Angola
(31-17), Kazakhstan
(35-19) and France
(34-24). The closest result of the Preliminary Round was the last match, on 17 August, against Romania
(24-23). During the warm up of this match Katja Nyberg
suffered a knee injury that prevented her from playing the quarter final against Sweden
. Norway defeated the Swedish team 31-24, advancing to the semifinals comfortably.
The semifinal match was played on 21 August. Former Olympic and World Champions South Korea
turned out to be the toughest opponent of the tournament. After 58 minutes of play Norway was leading 28-25. In less than two minutes the Koreans managed to score three goals in a row, reaching the tie score of 28-28 with only two seconds left. Katrine Lunde Haraldsen quickly started the last attack of the game with a pass to Karoline Dyhre Breivang
, who was already at the middle of the field. Breivang passed the ball on to Hammerseng who scored at the 60 minutes mark. The goal was validated by the referees but the Norwegians refrained from celebrating until the IHF
delegate finally confirmed the decision.
The final match was played on 23 August. It was a replay of the 2007 World Championship, Norway vs Russia. The Norwegian victory was secured early on. They were already leading by 10 goals after 14 minutes played and Trefilov's team never managed to lower that margin below a five goal difference. The match ended 34-27 for Norway. Linn-Kristin Riegelhuth was top scorer with nine goals out of ten shots.
The Norwegian team received their first Olympic gold medal after the final match. Two Norwegian players were selected into the tournament's All-Star Team: Katrine Lunde Haraldsen as goalkeeper and Else-Marthe Soerlie-Lybekk as pivot. Lunde Haraldsen was also overall top goalkeeper with a 42% save rate while Kari Aalvik Grimsbø
ranked first (together with Korean Oh Yongran) at 7-metres shots with a 40% rate. Regarding team statistics, Lybbek finished the tournament as Norway's top scorer with 31 goals and a 72% scoring rate, two points ahead of Riegelhuth who scored the same number of goals but with a 70% success rate.
After the Olympic Games, Breivik encountered new challenges caused by the fact that several key players were not available for the 2008 European Championship
: Lybekk retired from the national team, Snorroeggen was recovering from a shoulder injury and both Hammerseng and Nyberg decided to rest their bodies and concentrate on their club.
Thus a new squad was formed. Three players made their debut: Heidi Løke
(pivot) and Tine Rustad Kristiansen
(centre back) from Larvik
, and Camilla Herrem (left wing) from Byåsen. With the three members of the Olympic "captains team" out, Kristine Lunde was appointed new captain with Marit Malm Frafjord
and Karoline Dyhre Breivang as vice-captains.
Norway was a natural favorite to win the European title, and that position was reassured by winning both the GF World Cup '08
and Møbelringen Cup 2008
unbeaten. Their apparent invincibility helped cause a bigger surprise when they failed to win their first match of the tournament on 3 December. The Norwegians could only tie 21–21 against Spain
, the same team which left them out of the 2004 Summer Olympics
in 2003. Following that first disappointment, they managed to advance through the Preliminary Round and Main Round without a loss.
The semi-final match was played on 13 December against Russia. It was an easy win for Norway and even goalkeeper Haraldsen was able to score once. On 14 December, Spain was waiting at the final match. After an even first half the score was 13–12 for the defending champions. During the second half Norway increased the lead to a final score of 34–21.
Euro 2008 was the third European Championship gold in a row for Norway, and the fourth title in the history of the team. Linn-Kristin Riegelhuth was top scorer of the tournament with 51 goals and four Norwegian players were included in the All-Star Team: Riegelhuth as right wing, Katrine Lunde Haraldsen as goalkeeper, Tonje Larsen as left back and Kristine Lunde as center back. Lunde was also named MVP.
