Icelands handball team beat Polland today in the semifinals in Handball at the olympics in Bejing.
Now there are only four countries left to fight for medals.

Iceland has won three medals - since the beginning of modern Olympics. -- 1 silver and 2 bronce.

Triple jump in 1956, judo in 1984, pole vault in 2000.
And since we are only about three hundred thousand that live here in Iceland -- then it is pretty good to win Polland - pop. 39 million.

The President of Iceland is in Bejing to watch theam.
