Holly Lam-Moores

Holly was first introduced to the sport of handball at high school, in a year eight P.E class and she loved it!

She was also fortunate to have a local handball club which she joined and her passion developed from then on.

Having played for about three years in the UK, the promising British player moved out to Denmark to take up the sport full-time with the rest of the GB team.

Fascinating Facts

  • Holly was named handball player of the year in 2010 by the British Olympic Association.
  • She will be playing in the Champions League next season- one of her targets for after the Olympics.
  • Her worst moment in handball was moving out of a centralised training programme back in 2009 due to funding cuts.

The 21-year-old winger spent three seasons playing in both Denmark and Norway, and made a break through when she signed her first ever professional contract with a top league Danish club.

With the Olympics now just weeks away, Lam-Moores is now based in London training full-time with the rest of the British team as they prepare for their Olympic journey.
