The men's Handball event first made an appearance, played outside, at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin , Germany but did not then re-appear until the Games returned to Germany for the Munich Olympics in 1972 since when it has been ever present. The women's game debuted in Montreal , Canada at the 1976 Summer Olympics and again has been ever present since.
