Norway wins 2nd straight handball gold

Linn Sulland scored seven of her 10 goals in the first half Saturday, sending Norway to the Olympic team handball gold medal with a 13-10 win over Montenegro. It was the second straight Olympic title for Norway, which built a 13-10 lead and then closed the game on a 7-4 run after Montenegro had rallied to tie it. The Norwegians defeated Russia for the gold medal four years ago by seven goals. The bronze medal went to Spain, which defeated South Korea in two overtime periods. It was only the second time in the last eight Olympics South Korea had failed to medal. The Koreans won the women's gold medal at the 1988 and 1992 Olympics.
