Kristine Lunde-Borgersen (born 30 March 1980) is a retired Norwegian handballer who played for the Norwegian national team. She is Olympic champion, World Champion and three times European champion. She is the twin sister of fellow handball player Katrine Lunde. On 13 June 2017, she announced her return to playing handball for the 2017–2018 season, to replace Marta Tomac, who is out of play following a severe injury.

Club career

[edit]

Lunde Borgersen started her handball career in Norwegian clubs Hånes, Kristiansand and Våg Vipers.

In 2004, she moved to Denmark and played for Aalborg DH for 3 seasons. In 2007, she signed a 3-year contract with Viborg where she played together with her twin sister, Katrine Lunde Haraldsen. With Viborg, she won Danish Championship gold in 2008, 2009 and 2010, and the Danish Cup in 2007 and 2008.[1] She won the Champions League in 2009 and 2010. After the 2014–2015 season, she retired to become an assistant coach in her now re-branded hometown club Vipers Kristiansand. On 13 June 2017, she announced her return to playing (while remaining an assistant coach) for the 2017–2018 season, following the severe knee injury suffered by the teams playmaker Marta Tomac.

National team

[edit]

Lunde Borgersen made her debut on the Norwegian national team in 2001, with Marit Breivik as coach. Her first major competition was the 2001 World Championship in Italy, where she won a silver medal. She did not participate in the 2002 European Championship and even though she was back in the team for Croatia 2003, her first gold medal came in 2004, when Norway won the European Championship. She was European Champion again in 2006.

Due to a shoulder injury, she missed the 2007 World Championship in France. Fully recovered, Lunde Borgersen came back for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where Norway won a gold medal.[2] At the end of the year, the absence of Gro Hammerseng forced Breivik to select a new captain for the 2008 European Championship. Lunde Borgersen was chosen for the task, and as captain of the Norwegian team, she led them to their third consecutive European gold. Her performance was recognized when she was selected Playmaker of the All-Star Team and Most Valuable Player of the championship.[3]

As of 2013, Lunde Borgersen has played 181 international matches and scored 496 goals.[4] At the 2009 World Championships, she was part of the team that came third, beating Spain in the bronze medal match.[5] She then won gold with Norway at the 2011 World Championships.[6]

At the 2012 Summer Olympics, she was again part of the Norwegian team that won gold.[7]

On 3 July 2009, she married Ole M. Borgersen in Viborg domkirke in Denmark.
