🥅 Handball goalkeepers routinely confront shots exceeding 70 mph 💨, showcasing remarkable bravery and reflexes. To safeguard these athletes, the International Handball Federation (IHF) enforces strict regulations:
✌️Two-Minute Suspension: If a player hits the goalkeeper’s head with the ball during open play, they receive an immediate two-minute suspension.
🚩Red Card: During a 7-meter throw (penalty shot), striking the goalkeeper’s head results in a direct red card for the shooter.
These measures underscore the importance of player safety and the respect owed to those defending the net.
