Olympic silver medal in LA
German handball hero (68) passes away suddenly
German handball is mourning the loss of Klaus Wöller. The former national team goalkeeper passed away unexpectedly on Saturday at the age of 68.
"This news is a shock," the German newspaper "Bild" quotes Uli Roth, who won the silver medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles together with Wöller. "Klaus was one of the older players in our team and as such a mentor and role model for us boys. We will miss him."
Public appearance in the summer
In August, the former goalkeeper of Reinickendorfer Füchse (now Füchse Berlin, note) took part in a reunion with old companions in Leutershausen.
"Klaus Wöller has a permanent place in German handball history and will always remain one of our silver heroes from Los Angeles. Our thoughts are with his family at this difficult time," said Andreas Michelmann, President of the German Handball Federation, expressing his condolences. The cause of death is not publicly known.
