Here are eight rugby girls from Trondheim who wants to be in the the Olympics in Rio in four years. The first step was silver in NM.

- We went to the championship in Bergen to learn. It's a new team where most of them are beginners, and a 2nd place was beyond all
expectations, says Liv Skaug Furutangvik, project in Trondheim rugby academy.

To the championship went five handball players, two soccer girls, and two with a background from NTNUI Rugby. Trondheim beat Stavanger
and Oslo in the early game, while they lost to Bergen. Nevertheless, in the finals, Bergen once again proved to be the strongest.

- Most of the current national team players playing at BSI Bergen, and they have probably a solid head start on our players. Our goal is still
to get some players on the rugby team at the Olympics in four years, and with a little more training and knowledge of the sport, I think we
have a chance, says Liv Skaug Furutangvik.

Norway participated with women 's team for the first time during the European Championships in 2005 and now have made ​​plans to participate
in the Olympic Games. The first step towards the Olympics started last year, and during 2012, other regions will start the work.
