Ambros Martin’s 6 players are members of two national teams at the Olympics. Nycke Groot and Yvette Broch from the Netherlands and the Norwegian Heidi Löke, Kari Grimbsö and the novice in ETO, Nora Mörk have advanced to the quarter final.

Tomori’s knee got injured at the first training of ETO so she had to finish it earlier than planned. The situation is more serious than it was thought for the first time, the player was sent on a one-week of, who, therefore, will surely not be at the training camp of the national team.

The team will play six training matches during the championship preparation. Ambros Martin will probably be able to prepare with the whole team from September, as the foreign players are playing at the Olympics.
