Magda Balsam (born 20 September 1996) is a Polish handballer for JKS Jarosław and the Polish national team.[1]
She participated at the 2021 World Women's Handball Championship in Spain, placing 15th.[2][3]
Career
[edit]Balsam started playing as a kid in Bellator Ryjewo. She transferred to top flight team in 2015[4], where she was loaned to Sambor Tczew for three months.[5][4]
She played there for four seasons, before switching to fellow polish top flight team JKS Jarosław in 2019.[6][7] In her first season at the club she scored 132 goals in 20 matches, making her the second most scored player in that league season. This prompted a move to league rivals MKS Lublin the following season,[8] but she returned to JKS Jarosław after only a season in Lublin.[9]
In the 2022/2023 season she joined German Bundesliga side TuS Metzingen.[10] Here she would again only stay for a season before rejoining MKS Lublin for the second time for the 2023/2024 season.[11]
Balsam debuted for the Polish national team in March 2017 in a match against Belarus.[12]
