It is something of a kleppert, who is waiting for the Danish håndboldkvinder, when the Saturday of the next week opens the WORLD cup in the japanese Kumamoto. Enough is Australia totally down underdog, and Denmark will win the match without big problems – but one of them has a name. Or rather two...
Hannah Mouncey called the large stregspiller, which measure 188 cm and banks the needle of the bathroom scales over the 100 kilo plus a bit. The 30-year-old australian can boast of something so rare as to have played in two national teams: One for men and one for women!
Until 2015 was his name Callum for the first name and attended the bl.a. at the european championships in Spain in 2013. Then Callum has been for Hannah, and SHE has fought a tough battle to be accepted as a woman and to be selected for the australian national team.
Klavs Bruun Jørgensen is certainly not entirely enthusiastic about:
- The battle, we must win, but we also know that it might not come to act as much about handball. It comes instead to act on the ethical and moral dilemma, we are put in, when a man changes gender and suddenly enters a damescene with 110 kilos in the luggage. It comes enough to fill much.

Anne Mette Hansen, Kathrine Heindahl, Stine Bodholt and the other danes inside the minefield will, therefore, something to look for when Hannah Mouncey comes thundering with both height and size as an australian road train. That should be something of a kangaroo-grid to resist stregspilleren, when she comes høvlende into midterblokken.
- we accept That now, because it is Australia, but I think in the long term, it will be a difficult thing, if we suddenly find a team with five transgender. So it may well be, that the nations, who have spent a great deal of energy to get to where they are today, do not think it is fun, says the national coach.
- It will be specifically, but it is as it is. However, it is still a struggle, I am convinced that we will be able to overcome, says Klavs Bruun Jørgensen.
He and the squad draws early Thursday morning on a 20-hour journey to Okinawa via Munich and Osaka. The squad has six days on the south island in the Pacific ocean, within the team on Thursday next week to fly up to Kumamoto, where the WORLD cup starts two days later.
Thus the national team eight days to knock the jet lag of the women and get them folded out after many hours in cramped airline seats – all experience tells that athletes to use a hours per. hour time difference to overcome the effects of jet lag, and that is just exactly the eight-hour time difference between Japan and Denmark.
Right in the context, is Hannah Mouncey somewhat better off compared to exchange australian summer to japanese WORLD cup time.

The 30-year-old woman began her transformation from male to female in 2015. After a gender reassignment surgery and related hormonal treatment, she was officially a woman in may 2016, and her testosterone level sped rekordhurtigt down below the level that the international olympic committee, IOC, has set as the limit value.
The australian confederation, however, would not give her ’comeback’ to the national team because of a insurance, when she had hoped to drag in the national costume already in 2016. First, in april last year came Hannah Mouncey back as kvindelandsholdsspiller and was in december last year to qualify Australia for this WORLD cup, when she and the team were number five at the asian championships.
Bl.a. via 23 goals in the six matches of kæmpekvinden, who also tried their luck in the australian female football and after a two-year battle was awarded and played some matches for the Darebin Falcons.
- But I am and will be actress, she has explained to the australian Players Voice.
- I was totally destroyed and livræd for what awaited me. The idea to jump out in front of my family and team-mates was daunting, but it was the idea of leaving the sport I love, also. To say goodbye to the handball would be to say goodbye to my sporting future and all the endless hours of hard work I have put into the sport, she explained.
on Saturday, 30. november at. 12.30 the Danish time she is standing there. And she is fast!
