Handball in line for Rio 2016 Games

Hopes are high that One Wall handball could yet be included as a demonstration event at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Representatives of the IOC will be at CityWest, Dublin this week for the World Championships, which have attracted competitors from almost 30 countries.

“We are in the process of re-branding One Wall handball as ‘Wallball’,” explained GAA Handball CEO Chris Curran, “and we are optimistic that the sport will meet the Olympic criteria in future.”
