Nora Dark suffered an ankle injury when Larvik won 30-20 over Vipers Kristiansand in the quarter-finals in handball NM Tuesday.
Dark got an opponent over the foot and looked to get a shift in the left ankle. Teams profile had severe pain and never came back on the track.
Dark is an important step, not only in Larvik, but also on the Norwegian national who has World Championships in Denmark in December as the season’s big highlight.
How serious storskytterens damage is, is not known. Her teammates Gro Hammerseng-Edin crossed after the game my fingers that the injury does not keep Dark gone for a long time.
– From where I stood, it seemed to have gone beyond the knee. But it’s almost a relief that it was the ankle. It is often not as bad, she told Eurosport.
Larvik was at the forefront of much of Tuesday’s game, but never managed to stick right from Gunnar Pettersen teams from Kristiansand. Larvik led by three goals at halftime. It was not until the last ten minutes of the match that the goals flowed in behind Vipers goalkeeper Sakura Hauge.
– The most important thing was to win. I’d like to see that it went a little easier, said Hammerseng-Edin.
Friday plays Larvik match of the Champions League against Krim Ljubljana away from home, and at dawn on Wednesday morning, the trip to the Slovenian capital. The question is whether Nora Mørk sitting on the plane with the rest of the team.
Also Vipers got a player injured on Tuesday. Swedish Ulrika Olsson had in the dressing room on a stretcher after suffering a blow to the ankle.
The other quarterfinals in the women NM played Wednesday. Larvik chasing their 14th straight championship finals.
