Althea Reinhardt has in Kumamoto got a very special visit.
Målvogterens father has travelled to Japan to follow Denmark, and we are not talking about a short visit, for he is in the japanese during the entire WORLD cup finals.

The two are not only teammates on the national team, and in Odense, Handball.
They are also good friends outside the track, and they have previously told how much it means to have each other, for example to the finals.
Among other things because there is a time difference of eight hours for Denmark, and that the contact with friends and family, thus, is limited.
