This is only the second handball match photographer Michael Steel has shot. Here he explains how he managed to capture the moment.

"This image was taken during the first half of the Germany v Korea game. It's very fast moving - I was positioned behind the goal to the left so I put my camera lens through the hole in the net in order to get a clear shot.

"My view was blocked most of the time by the players' bodies. When they moved to the other end of the court, the referee would be standing in front of me, so it was really difficult to get a clear picture."
