Jordi Ribera, the Spanish coach of the Brazilian men’s national handball team announced his 14+1 players for the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil’s Rio de Janeiro. The team is basically the same as the team of the Pan American Championship, but one of the biggest names of the team, Felipe Borges will have to miss the Olympics due to injury suffered recently. The Pan American tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina ended just a few weeks ago, Brazil coming out as the winner, defeating biggest continental rivals Argentina in the semifinal and Chile in the final. The Brazilian men will travel to Denmark next week to prepare for the big competition, playing preparation matches with the Danish men’s team.
