Discount available for set purchases.

This is a DVD of the 17th Women's World Championship match between Japan and China, held on December 5, 2005.
It was sold by the Japan Handball Association and is now out of print.

I am selling it because I no longer need it.
I believe this is a valuable DVD where you can see the play of famous players from that era.

[Match Report]
The 17th World Championship opens. Japan's first opponent is China, and Japan scores first. The game starts with Sakamoto's post play. In the early stages, Tanaka (Mi) provides good assists, and with her own cut-ins and long shots from Kinjo and Hayafune, Japan leads 10-8 at 20 minutes. Although they were once caught up, Sakamoto, Hayafune, and Tanaka (Mi) score three consecutive goals to regain the lead, ending the first half 18-14.
In the second half, China becomes more aggressive from the start, and Japan falls back, allowing China to score 5 consecutive goals and take the lead 20-22 at 8 minutes. However, Mizuno and Tanaka (Mi) score to tie the game again. However, China then scores 7 consecutive goals, putting Japan in a difficult position. Komatsu and Tanaka (Mi) score, but it's not enough, and Japan loses the first match 27-33. We aim to bounce back in the upcoming matches.
