text: Handball was officially recognized as a sport in 1920 due to the efforts of Carl Diem, then Principal of the German High School for Phyical Education with, however, a significant change: the game begun to be played in a 11-a-side variety instead of the original 7-a-side (International Olympic Committee, 1986).
