June 5, 2022 at 17:57 Frafjord ends with a loss After a golden career, Marit Malm Frafjord (36) had to resign with a big loss in the Champions League. Metz beat Esbjerg 32-26 in the battle for third place. Metz led 18-12 at the break and did not give up the lead in the second round. Esbjerg, with six Norwegian players, lost the semifinal against Györ on Saturday. Already after that match, Frafjord had trouble controlling his emotions. Henny Ella Reistad became the big offensive player in the consolation final in Budapest, but that did not save Esbjerg. Frafjord got a career as a senior player in 20 seasons. For the national team, she is among the most winning: two Olympic golds (2008 and 2012), one World Cup (2011) and five European Championship titles (2006, 2008, 2010, 2016 and 2020). Frafjord secured a medal in all championships (13) she participated in as a senior. She has no plans to keep up before handball as a coach or camper. – I’m looking forward to some free weekends, she told NTB before the final weekend in Hungary. She originally resigned in May 2018, but a few months later Frafjord agreed to play for Esbjerg.
