Some top-class players never make it to any major final of international competitions throughout their entire career. Some enter the world of top handball on the fast lane: Nils Lichtlein is 21 years old, and in the last six months, he has enjoyed a handball life at the speed of light. In May, at the age of 20, he not only played in his first-ever international final but, in the second half, was a core part of the Füchse Berlin squad, which took the European League trophy at the EHF finals in Flensburg, beating Granollers in the final.
