Daniel Narcisse (born 16 December 1979) is a French handball player for Paris Handball and the French national team.[1][2]
Career
Narcisse joined THW Kiel in 2009, replacing Nikola Karabatic, and has since 2013 played for Paris Handball.[2]
Narcisse is a longtime player on the France national handball team, and won with it all major titles: world title (in 2001, 2009, 2015 and 2017), European title (in 2006, 2010 and 2014) and Olympic gold medal (in 2008 and 2012). His main strength as a field player is his jumping ability, enabling him to score goals above interfering defense players. This ability earned him the nickname Air France.[3]
Narcisse was voted into the All star team at the 2008 European Men's Handball Championship,[4] where France finished third. In 2012 he was named the IHF World Player of the Year.[3][5]
