Does national coach Alfred Gislason (64) take snuff through his nose before the game at the European Handball Championship (all European Championship games live on Dyn)? Or another – not permitted – substance?
Handball European Championship: What is national coach Alfred Gislason sniffing out here?
You can see physiotherapist Bernd Götzenberg dripping something from a bottle onto the back of the Icelander’s left hand. Gislason then brings his left hand to his nose, smells it very intensively and licks the back of his hand.

No! “It is Japanese medicinal plant oil,” says team doctor Dr. Philip Lübke (48) to SPORT BILD. “It clears the airways.” And is also a ritual. Depending on the match day duty, the DHB physios Götzenberg or Peter Gräschus are responsible for the bottle.

Trainers and professionals receive this oil (available in every pharmacy or drugstore) in their hand (depending on their needs). Gislason swears by it – some people also like to have their olfactory bulbs exposed again.

We played very well against Hungary, our stars around Andreas Wolff (32) and Julian Köster (23) had a great taste of victory. On Wednesday against Croatia (8.30 p.m., ARD and live on DYN/Anzeige) there will be some more high-altitude air – after reaching the semi-finals.
