Hans Óttar Lindberg Tómasson (born 1 August 1981) is a Danish handball player of Icelandic descent[1] for HØJ Elite and the Danish national team.[2] He has played the second most matches for the Danish national team,[3] and measured in years he has the record for longest time on the national team ever[4] as well as oldest player for the Danish team.[5]
He won the 2008 European Men's Handball Championship and the 2012 European Men's Handball Championship with the Danish national team.[6] He currently plays for Füchse Berlin.[7]
He is of Icelandic descent[8] as both of Lindberg's parents, Tómas Erling Lindberg and Sigrún Sigurðardóttir, are Icelandic. His parents played handball in Iceland with Fimleikafélag Hafnarfjarðar.[9] He had Icelandic citizenship until he was 18. His paternal grandparents immigrated to Iceland from Suduroy on the Faroe Islands in the mid-1940s.[10]
He is sometimes referred to as the Icelander on the Danish national team in Icelandic media.[11][12] He understands Icelandic in conversation but is unable or refuses to speak Icelandic when speaking to media.[13]
