  Korea recorded a record of 6 wins against India in all-time records.

   

  The first-place team in the Asian qualifiers, in which five countries participated, advances directly to the Olympic finals, and the second-place team receives the right to participate in the final qualifier, which competes with countries from other continents once more.

   

  Signalho's goal is to win a direct ticket to the Olympic finals by winning all four matches.

   

  Korean women's handball has advanced to the Olympic finals 10 times in a row, from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics held in 2021.

   

  It is the record for the most consecutive Olympic finals among men's and women's handball teams around the world.

   

  In addition to the Korean women's national team, there is a case in which the Spanish men's national team advanced nine times in a row until the 2012 London Olympics.

   

  After a pleasant start, Korea will play against China on the 18th, followed by Kazakhstan (21st) and home team Japan (23rd).

   

  On this day, Korea pushed India from the beginning of the game.

   

  Starting with the first goal scored by centerback Kang Kyung-min (Gwangju City Corporation), the top scorer of the SK Handball Korea League in the 2022-2023 season, they ran away 14-3 and overpowered the baseline.

   

  After finishing the first half with a huge lead of 28-7, Korea did not give up the flow in the second half and won comfortably.

   

  In Korea, all players scored goals except for goalkeepers Jeong Jin-hee (Seoul City Hall) and Park Jo-eun (Gwangju Metropolitan City Corporation).

   

  Shin Eun-joo (Incheon City Hall) was responsible for 9 goals, the highest score among both teams.

   

  Lee Mi-gyeong (Busan Facilities Corporation) was selected as the MVP of the game.

   

  Coach Signel said, "I think the players have gained confidence through today's match."

   

  Lee Mi-kyung said, "It was a little difficult at first because the gym floor is a bit harder than Korea.

   

  All the players say that their ankles and Achilles tendons are a little sore, but I won't mind and I will adapt quickly."
