Stine Nørklit Lønborg, new (happy) Dijon
I love Dijon : So it’s been a few months since you arrived in Dijon. Before talking about the club, how does it seem to you in Dijon?
Stine Nørklit Lønborg : I feel good here, I love the city centre, with the cafes and restaurants… Dijon is a very beautiful city! The locals are really nice, even if I don’t speak French I manage to communicate with people from Dijon, it’s nice to be here. I have already come to the south of France on vacation but this is the first time that I have settled in another country… and it’s cool that it’s in Dijon!
J.D. : What do you particularly like about Dijon?
SNL : I love French cuisine and Dijon is one of the best eating cities… it’s perfect ! I really love walking around the city center of Dijon, it’s very cute, the buildings are magnificent.
J.D. : And in the team, how did your integration go? I have the impression that you have quickly found your place…
SNL : I am very happy to be here! The girls, the coach and all the staff are really nice and help me a lot to understand and make myself understood. Some of the players speak good English so that’s how we communicate. I am also trying to understand some French words but English remains easier for me at the moment. I like the JDA Handball gamecoach Christophe Mazel wants him to be fast and punchy… and that’s what I like, it will only improve my game!

J.D. : Some journalists say that you are one of the most beautiful revelations of this beginning of the season… Do you agree with that? What do you think ?
SNL : Wow! It is really nice ! In any case, I felt good from the start with the girls in the team, I like the game plan proposed by the coach, so maybe that’s why I had a good start to the season!
J.D. : You are happy to be in Dijon, you are happy to play for the JDA Dijon… what more could you ask for?
SNL : I am very very happy! My boyfriend is with me here, I am very happy that he is accompanying me on this adventure, it is reassuring for me. And then this Palais des Sports… it’s a very beautiful installation, what a pleasure to play here!
J.D. : The game against Bourg-de-Péage on September 16 was your first home game (see our article, follow our link). Do you expect such an atmosphere and such enthusiasm from the supporters?
SNL : This game was amazing! I had no idea the atmosphere was so good here! Supporters give voice to push us to score even more goals. Special mention to the BSB students with the drums which makes a lot of noise. It gives even more punch, it gives even more confidence to excel.
