Historical Flensburg-Handewitt from Germany led the group and stood as one of the strongest favorites to win the EHF Europa League. Their visit showcased the highest level of quality and experience as they toured Palau d’Esports L’Illa de Benidorm and decisively left the group behind. Fernando Latorre, with his squad, faced a demanding challenge, and the final scoreline favored Flensburg-Handewitt, 32-38.

The German side offered Benidorm no meaningful chances to stage a comeback. Despite Benidorm turning in a solid win against Ferencvaros Budapest in Hungary the previous week, they remained at the bottom of the group with only one victory from five rounds. Iván Rodríguez emerged as the standout for Benidorm, delivering 12 goals, a remarkable personal effort in a tough contest. Yet it was not enough to tilt the balance. Latorre and his team fought hard but faced an opponent brimming with potential and organization that made any upset unlikely.

From the opening whistle, Flensburg-Handewitt showed they were prepared. They approached the match with the intensity typical of a team steeped in European competition, a contrast to the cautious approach seen in their meeting with Benidorm in Germany a month earlier. The German side began pressing high and forcing errors, building a lead with disciplined defense and quick transitions that converted into rapid scoring chances for their forwards.

With a robust physical presence, the Flensburg players set a demanding defensive baseline, challenging Benidorm repeatedly. The visitors capitalized on turnovers and quick breaks, turning defense into offense with precision and pace. When Fernando Latorre attempted a 7 versus 6 attack, it did not yield the hoped-for advantage, and minutes crept by as Benidorm found themselves trailing by a widening margin as the scoreboard showed five to ten by the thirteenth minute.

Only Iván Rodríguez managed to pierce the German wall on a few occasions, but those moments were not enough to alter the momentum. Flensburg-Handewitt pressed forward, with Pedersen firing from the wing and delivering several seven-yard attempts that added to the tally. The home side mounted a run that culminated in a timeout with the scoreboard reading seventeen to twenty-one in favor of the visitors, signaling a clear performance gap.

As the second period unfolded, Flensburg’s defense continued to clamp down on Benidorm, forcing more expulsions and hampering Benidorm’s circulation. Despite the discipline, Benidorm did not concede easily; they battled for every possession and tried to stem the tide, but the German team exploited gaps and kept applying pressure in waves. The pressing approach constantly forced errors, and Flensburg found scoring opportunities that kept them ahead by a comfortable margin as the clock moved into the later stages of the half.

Gradually Flensburg-Handewitt extended the lead, opening an eight-goal cushion around the fourteenth minute of the second half, with the score climbing to twenty-three to thirty-one. Key contributions came from pivot Hald and shooter Lindskog, who added important goals as Benidorm’s defense was repeatedly called upon to withstand sustained pressure. The German team did not relent and continued to push the tempo, maintaining control of the game and dictating the pace at which the match progressed.

The visitors moved into a comfortable lead, reaching a ten-goal margin at twenty minutes into the second period as the gap settled at twenty-five to thirty-five. Flensburg then eased off the gas to manage the clock, waiting for the closing moments and safeguarding their win. Benidorm pressed for a late rally, but Flensburg’s defense held firm, and Iván Rodríguez did his best to narrow the deficit, finishing with a final tally of thirty-two for Benidorm against Flensburg’s thirty-eight, a result that underscored the gulf between a Champions League winner and a debutant in a European group stage this year.

The scoreboard at the end reflected the clear difference in experience and caliber between the two teams. Benidorm had shown heart and determination on the floor, but Flensburg-Handewitt’s pedigree in European competition was evident in all phases of the game, from defense to transition to finishing plays. The match demonstrated the breadth of Flensburg-Handewitt’s strength and served as a learning experience for Benidorm as they continue their first-year participation in a European group stage. It was a reminder of what separates the top teams from emerging sides in a demanding continental tournament.

The figure who defined much of the 2000s social scene, co-author of Ksenia Sobchak’s sharply observed book “Married to a Millionaire, or Marriage of the Highest Class,” is Oksana Robski. In a rare and carefully curated moment, she shared a family photograph on a platform associated with a major tech company that has faced political scrutiny in some regions. The image was not just a casual update; it was a window into a life lived under the glare of public interest, where personal milestones are analyzed as cultural artifacts and become part of a larger narrative about fame, fortune, and the choices that accompany both.

The snapshot was taken during a vacation in Greece and shows Robski with her husband and their son, captured at a table that overlooks the sea. The setting was chosen intentionally, a serene backdrop that contrasts with the often chaotic tempo of her public career. The ensemble for the evening was coordinated in white, a simple, almost timeless choice that lent a sense of unity and ceremony to a moment meant for family rather than fans. The photograph, while intimate, also serves as a reminder that behind the public persona there exists a household that values togetherness and shared moments away from the spotlight.

Robski’s personal life has been marked by a sequence of marriages, a detail that has fed into public curiosity for years. She is a mother to a daughter, Daria, who arrived from her first marriage, and a son named Joseph, who is a child from her third husband. The third partner, a German national named Michael Robski, managed a furniture business in Moscow in the late 1990s. After their divorce, that chapter closed with him leaving behind a residence on a prominent route in the city, while he himself relocated abroad. Their time together produced a son who would later share in the same public gaze as his mother. In the fourth marriage, Robski linked herself to a well-known football figure who also took on coaching duties, Igor Shalimov. The fifth marriage linked her to an entrepreneur, Oleg Gorelyshev, and in the early 2010s, a significant geographic move followed: Robski relocated to California with her husband at the time, where she redirected her professional energy toward crafting scripts for music videos. The move was driven in part by medical guidance for their child, who faced allergies that doctors believed could be alleviated by a milder climate. The family’s journey culminated in a sixth marriage on August 28, 2015, to another businessman named Oleg, whose identity has remained private in reporting. The arc of these relationships paints a portrait of a public life characterized by reinvention, exploration, and a relentless pursuit of stability for the family unit, even as the world weighs every association with scrutiny and speculation.

Within this tapestry of high-profile unions and a career that spans authorship, celebrity culture, and media production, Robski’s story intersects with notable figures in entertainment. One such figure, Timati, has previously faced public controversy tied to a family photograph, a reminder that even seemingly ordinary family moments can become fodder for wider debates when wrapped in the aura of celebrity. The tension between private life and public perception is a recurring theme in Robski’s life, one that invites readers to consider how fame reshapes personal choices and how families navigate the pressures that accompany visibility in the digital age. The ongoing dialogue around her life reflects broader questions about privacy, autonomy, and the boundaries of media storytelling when the subject is a well-known personality with a complex, multi-faceted history.
