Handball club Vipers Kristiansand has had a very turbulent week. On Wednesday, Vipers’ national team players Katrine Lunde and Silje Østhassel-Solberg met the press. – It’s a very difficult situation to be in. It’s very demanding to be a handball player, and human too. It is mentally heavy to still have to perform and do well, says Katrine Lunde to an assembled press corps. Last week, the club announced that they needed 25 million in three days to avoid bankruptcy. The counter notification came on Monday: A group of shareholders will now take over the operation, and the club is not filing for bankruptcy. – There is a lot that needs to be sorted out, and I put my trust in those who will work on it. I have faith that it will be good. I am very happy that people support us, says Lunde. Østhassel-Solberg spoke about the situation in an news interview on Tuesday. – We have had some special days with two very different messages in a short time. Now we hope things are in order, she said then.
