Double exposure.
With the exception of 2-3 countries the world's best women's team met for an incredible mini tournament here in Stavanger. You want to see tough action go see a handball match at this level. Footballers (soccer) should learn from these women - they get punched, pinched, elbowed, knocked, twisted...and they just get up again. One of the stars, Heidi Løke, beat the world's best skier, Marit Bjørgen, when they competed in a variety of endurance tests.
And when one looks at Bjørgen's physique (second picture) one has to wonder what these women are made of...

Handball used to be one of the top sports in Yugoslavia. Unfortunately it is not sponsored as other sports so it's slowly dying. Similar is happening to water-polo. I wonder when these sports will be removed from the Olympics in favor of golf, tennis, sailing and other well sponsored sports.
The double exposure works well. I am a sucker for flags :)

I know...sports go through the same "refinements" as the rest of the world. Diversity is soon just a word. Every human will eventually look the same, do the same but never trust each other.
