Jesper Schou, managing director of Bjerringbro-Silkeborg explains why the Jutland club will be without the experienced playmaker "Rasmus is currently not available for family circumstances which probably means that he may have played his last game of the season." "We do not expect him to be part of the team for the rest of the season", says Jesper Schou to TV 2 Sport before Tuesday's match in Helsinge against Nordsjaelland Handball Bjerringbro-Silkeborg don't not wish to reveal more details about the family circumstances which are the reason for Rasmus Lauge's absence Rasmus Lauge was last in action on 16 February in the cup final against Aalborg Handball Lauge's absence will naturally be a huge blow for the club who are currently chasing a spot in the playoffs of the domestic league "Rasmus Lauge is a big profile for us and has played really well for us for a long time We saw most recently in January at the World Cup how good a player he is in the Danish national team." "So it is clear that we can feel that Rasmus is not involved But that gives opportunities to other players in the team Rasmus Lauge returned home to Bjerringbro-Silkeborg in the summer of 2023 on a five-year contract after a number of years where he was playing abroad DRAW REVIEW: AEK Athens HC have the home right in the first leg of their final against HC Alkaloid in May DRAW PREVIEW: The two finalists await draw to find out who gets the first leg home right for the EHF European Cup Men final SEMI-FINALS REVIEW: Intense clashes in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Norway decided the finalists for the EHF European Cup Men 2024/25 SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW: Fight for the trophy heats up as HC Izvidac Runar Sandefjord and HC Alkaloid eye final seats ROUND REVIEW: AEK Athens and HC Alkaloid both took comfortable victories in the first leg of the EHF European Cup Men semi-finals SEMI-FINAL PREVIEW: The first leg takes place this weekend with matches in Greece and North Macedonia REVIEW: A penalty shootout decided the last team to progress to the EHF European Cup Men 2024/25 semi-finals OFFICIAL STATEMENT: The European Handball Federation has rescheduled the EHF European Cup Men quarter-final DRAW REVIEW: The EHF European Cup Women 2024/25 final starts in Spain following to the draw conducted by the EHF on Tuesday NEWS: The second leg of EHF European Cup quarter-final is set to be rescheduled at a neutral venue denmark by nord architects image courtesy nord architects/adam mørk the natural science center in bjerringbro, denmark by copenhagen firm nord architects has been completed. image courtesy nord architects/adam mørk interior image courtesy nord architects/adam mørk floor plan image courtesy nord architects happening now! partnering with antonio citterio, AXOR presents three bathroom concepts that are not merely places of function, but destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style, context, and personal expression. Text description provided by the architects. Since the concrete dried last winter the Natural Science Center has attracted a lot of attention worldwide. The Danish building situated in Bjerringbro far away from the capital Copenhagen has just been nominated for the Mies van der Rohe Award. - We are very happy to be nominated. It means a lot to us, says Morten Rask Gregersen partner in Nord Architects Copenhagen. © Adam MørkThe Natural Science center is a building out of the ordinary. If you thought atriums spanning two floors were cool, think again. In the Natural Science Center all spaces are open and have views spanning several floors. The building itself is shaped as a cylinder with terraces, openings and cuts to explore and get lost in. © Adam Mørk- The idea behind the Natural Science Center is to make young people interested in natural science and pursue a career within that field. Natural Science is about exploring and asking questions, so we wanted to design a building that made them do just that, says partner in Nord Architects Copenhagen Johannes Pedersen. The building is designed with a sturdy interior to encourage experiments. If a future scientist needs to make a hole in the concrete floor to carry out his experiment, it is quite all right. The architects are okay with it. Despite the Natural Science Center’s iconic status, it is first and foremost a building designed to be used. © Adam Mørk- We have made a clear distinction between the interior and the exterior. The interior is rough with concrete surfaces designed to be used, while the exterior has smooth surfaces made of glass profiles. In this way the building is both an elegant icon for Bjerringbro and a place where young people can get their hands dirty doing all sorts of experiments You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email This follows Grundfos’ announcement in August 2022 to fully withdraw from Russia and Belarus The transaction allows the new owners to run a non-Grundfos business in Russia and Belarus The Grundfos brand and other Grundfos Intellectual Property Rights are not part of the divestment and will remain fully in Grundfos ownership Grundfos has thanked its Russian and Belarussian colleagues for their dedication and its former partners and customers for their valued collaboration over many years The agreement is subject to approval by relevant authorities in Russia Grundfos expects the approval process to conclude by end of the first quarter of 2023 The first nine matches in round 4 of the EHF European League Men 2024/25 group matches on Tuesday saw SG Flensburg-Handewitt become the first team to officially book their main round ticket after beating MOL Tatabanya 39:29 in group G FENIX Toulouse edged out VfL Gummersbach 31:30 which marked the first defeat from a team from Germany this season Bjerringbro-Silkeborg (DEN) vs Fraikin Bm.

also reached a sustainability milestone in November 2022, when its 2050 net-zero commitment was validated and approved by the Science Based Targets initiative “We are determined to pioneer solutions

loyalty,” added Moberg “We will make sure to care for them as they have cared for us and our customers during their time with Grundfos.” Grundfos is one of the world’s largest pump manufacturers with

And then there's a group I'm familiar with and then there's the unknown factor that it's not a team that I've played against since my time at THW Kiel or my first time at Bjerringbro-Silkeborg maybe So it has been many years since I last met Kadetten Schaffhausen The knowledge of many of the players is there but the overall knowledge of the team is not that good yet that will come up towards the match," says 32-year-old Lauge Before Lauge and his team can see the two points on their account That's what playing in the EHF European League is like if you ask the Danish EHF EURO 2024 silver winner "By now - as far as we are concerned - the competition has been tough with the teams that we have met I think that's a cool thing to have - that it's a relatively tough tournament And I also think that the top of the EHF European League has some teams that could easily make it to the EHF Champions League The width and the top have a really high level.” FLASH QUOTES: Comments from players and coaches after the EHF Finals Women 2025 semi-finals The handball player of the representative of Kosovo is playing very successfully in the elite of Denmark for the team Bjerringbro Denmark stands out for its highly developed handball while it has one of the best championships in the world Bjerringbro has decided to offer Hajdar a contract for the next season The club announced that the decision was very easy we have a very interesting player who is very stable in defense and who can score many goals in attack she has already scored 49 goals this season and plays for the national team of Kosovo" Arlinda's older sister Marigona also plays in the Danish elite This site is controlled and managed by KOHA are protected by KOHA's copyright and KOHA retains the reserved rights for them Materials on this site may not be used for commercial purposes without the prior permission of KOHA is prohibited The use of materials from any website or other medium without the permission of the KOHA Group on behalf of all the units that make it up (Koha Ditore is a violation of copyright and of intellectual property according to the legal provisions in force All violators of these rights will face the law The translation of contents into other languages ​​is done automatically and there may be errors Annex of the former Radio Prishtina (first floor) George Bush pn
