I recall an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough.

Olympic hand ball or team handball is an indoor court game rather than outdoor or beach game.

In handball, 2 teams of 7 players pass and dribble a small ball using only their hands. The aim is to score a goal by throwing the ball past the defending goalkeeper into the other team's net.
