Tobias Schjølberg Grøndahl (born 22 January 2001) is a Norwegian handball player for GOG Håndbold and the Norwegian national team.[1][2][3][4]

Career

[edit]

Grøndahl started playing handball at Haslum HK, where his father was a youth coach.[6] Until he was 16 he was also playing football until his football coach advised him to focus on handball.

In 2019 he switched to Norwegian champions Elverum Håndball.[6] Here he won the Norwegian championship in 2020, 2021 and 2022. In the 2021/2022 season he was the top scorer in the EHF Champions League with 81 goals.[7]

In 2024 he switched to Danish side GOG Håndbold.[8] At GOG he was one of the most important players on the team, when they finished 3rd in the Danish League. After a season he was sold to German Füchse Berlin.[9] GOG had initially rejected a transfer bid, before accepting a bid, that the club called 'financially irresponsible to reject'.[10][9]
