THE HANDBALL AND AN APPROACH TO LIFE STORY OF MARC GARCÍA DIÉGUEZ

Abstract

Handball is a sport of collaboration and direct opposition emerged in Europe at the end of the 19th century, although preceded by old games with various similarities, such as the “Game of Ukraine”. It was included for the first time in the Olympic Games in 1936, and since 1972 it has been incorporated every year. Spain stands out for its great achievements in this sport, both male and female, in addition to its high internal level. Due to its characteristics, handball complies with the fundamental principles and the essential values of Olympism, putting sport at the service of society and favoring its commitment to maintain and sustain human dignity. Marc García Diéguez, current player of the Asobal League, stands out as a reference in these values, brilliant for his career, dedication and sporting spirit.
