Ole Nørskov Sørensen (born 13 January 1952 in Aarhus) is a former Danish handball player who competed in the 1980 Summer Olympics.
In 1980 he finished ninth with the Danish team in the Olympic tournament. He played all six matches as goalkeeper.
The Hummel Controversy
Before 1980 Handball players could decide for themselves, which shoes they wanted to use, but this changed when the Danish national team signed a sponsorship agreement with Hummel forcing the players to use their shoes. As Ole Nørskov did not believe the shoes were good enough, he refused to do so and was subsequiently removed from the national team. Afterwards, he never played a match for the Danish national team.[1]
