Medal record

Maja Grønbæk (born 30 January 1971) is a former Danish team handball player and Olympic champion. She won a gold medal with the Danish national team at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney after making her debut in 1999. She ended up playing 22 matches for the Danish National team.[1]
Grønbæk initially retired in march 2005,[2] but later the same year she came back to professional handball, signing for the Spanish club Cementos. [3] However after only a week at the club, head coach Gregorio Garcia announced that she could not expect playing time. This prompted her to leave the club without even playing a single match. She instead signed a two month contract with the Icelandic club FH Handbolti.[4]
Today she works as physiotherapist.[5]
