Den svenska landslagsstjärnan har nominerats till IHF World Handball Player på damsidan.
Internationella handbollsförbundet har nominerat fem spelare till IHF World Handball Player för 2016. Bland de nominerade, som vi nu kan rösta på, finns vår blågula stjärna Isabelle Gulldén.
Gulldén drar som alltid ett tungt lass i landslaget men nomineringen grundar sig framför allt på insatsen i klubblaget CSM Bukarest. Där var hon helt avgörande när klubben vann Champions League i våras efter 15 mål i finalen. Länk till omröstningen har ni här:

Nomineringarna på damsidan:
Nora Mork,
With the Norwegian team, the 25-year-old right back claimed not only bronze at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games but they defended their European championship title as well. At the Women’s EHF EURO 2016 in Sweden, Mork proved her qualities once again as she was top scorer of the tournament and voted into the All-star Team. With Gyori ETO KC she won the Hungarian championship and ranked second at the Women’s EHF Champions League Final4.
Cristina Neagu
Even though Romania look back at a rather disappointing year after their Rio 2016 qualification, 2010 and 2015 Player of the Year Cristina Neagu still stands out. She ranked third in the top scorer lists of the Women’s EHF Champions League, the Women’s EHF EURO 2016 and the Olympic Games as well – even though Romania did not make it to the quarter-finals and she played only five matches. The 28-year-old left back was also voted into the All-star team of the Women’s EHF Champions League 2015/2016.
Nycke Groot
After their surprise runners-up position at the 2015 World Championship, the Dutch women started strong in 2016 qualifying for Rio unbeaten at their Olympic Qualification Tournament. At the Olympic Games they finished fourth and the team around Nycke Groot showed their strength again at the Women’s EHF EURO 2016, claiming the silver medal. The 28-year-old centre back was also part of the All-star team and was voted Most Valuable Player of the tournament. Alongside her teammates Mork and Kari Grimsbo, Groot could celebrate the title of Hungarian champions and a second place at the Women’s EHF Final4.
Isabelle Gullden
Swedish centre back Isabelle Gullden had a successful year 2016 with her club team CSM Bucuresti. She could not only celebrate the Romanian championship title but also winning the Women’s EHF Champions League Final4, a first in the history of the club. The 27-year-old was top scorer of the last Champions League season. With the national team she qualified for the 2016 Olympics.
Kari Grimsbo
32-year-old European champion Kari Grimsbo made it on the list of nominees for the Player of the Year 2016 as well. Norway’s goalkeeper did not only have a rather successful season 2015/2016 with Gyori ETO KC but could also celebrate the bronze medal with Norway at the Olympics, where she was also voted into the All-star Team, and defending the title at the EUHF EURO 2016 in Sweden.
