Didier Dinart (born January 18, 1977 in Pointe-à-Pitre, Guadeloupe) is a French handball player, currently playing for the internationally renowned BM Ciudad Real handball team in Spain (where he is partner to, among others, Luc Abalo). Before joining BM Ciudad Real, he played for the current best French club Montpellier HB.
He is a highly skilled defensive player, and is widely regarded as one of the world's best handball defensive players. This effectiveness has granted him the nickname of La Roca (The Rock) in Spain.[citation needed]
He is also one of the most enduring players of the national team: his first appearance on the team was on Dec 20, 1996 against Croatia. He won all three major titles in handball (European championship, world championship, Olympic championship). He has represented France at four Olympic Games, including winning the gold medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics[1] and the 2012 London Olympics.[2]
