Since we consider it important to continuously analyse specific competitive situations at top-level competitions, we have chosen the Women’s World Handball Championship that took place in November and December 2023 in Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. We aimed to analyse some of the best teams that participated in this championship and gather information on the current state of top-level women’s handball in executing attacks in a 6 against 5 situations (power play 6 vs. 5). Throughout the entire tournament, a total of 690 2-minute penalties were awarded (an average of 6.16 per game). Our analysis included the teams of Sweden (3rd place match), Denmark (semi-final and 3rd place match), Norway (semi-final and final match), and France (final match). For all the games analysed, we selected several attacks with one extra player in a 6 against 5 situation and described them, including a sequence of photos, and we also included a link to access the video footage.
