}} Tonje Larsen (born 26 January 1975 in Tønsberg) is a retired Norwegian handballer who played for the Norwegian national team. She is Olympic champion, World champion and twice European champion. As a club player she is several times Norwegian champion and once Danish champion, and has won the EHF Cup, EHF Cup Winners' Cup and the EHF Champions League. ==International championships== Larsen made her debut with the national team in June 1992 against Denmark, seventeen years old, when Sven-Tore Jacobsen was head coach. Her first major tournament came when Marit Breivik selected her for the 1994 European Championship in Germany, where she won a bronze medal.〔 She continued playing for the national team and received medals in the three major competitions for women's handball: gold in the 1998 European Championship, gold in the 1999 World Championship and bronze at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2000 Summer Olympics – Sydney, Australia – Handball )〕 Due to jumper's knee, she was out of the team in 2001 and between 2003 and 2008.〔 She continued playing for Larvik mostly on defense, as her knees could not tolerate the heavier stress of the offensive game. Her career seemed to be in danger, and she considered retiring. Finally, she underwent surgery successfully in 2006. As a side effect of the years she spent injured, Larsen is now considered to be an excellent defense player. She made her comeback to the national team in 2008, winning a gold medal both at the Summer Olympics in Beijing〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Profile: Tonje Larsen )〕 and at the European Championship held in December in the Republic of Macedonia, where she also made the official All-Star Team as the ''Best left back'' of the championship. As of January 2009, she has played more than 200 matches for the national team, and scored more than 500 goals. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tonje Larsen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
