De Jernhårde Ladies - From Pioneers to Icons
Five legendary Danish handball players from the 1990s gather on stage to share their stories and experiences from a groundbreaking era in Danish sports.
Anne Dorthe Tanderup (born 24 April 1972 in Aarhus) is a Danish former handball player who earned 88 caps and scored 179 goals for the national team between 1991 and 1997. Playing as a back - and serving as captain for several years - she was a key figure on the celebrated squad that won Olympic gold in Atlanta (1996), the World Championship (1997) and European gold in both 1994 and 1996. Since retiring she has worked as a nutritionist and speaker, and published her memoir 'På Udebane' in 2025.
Anne Dorthe Tanderup presented her autobiography 'På Udebane' at Bogforum in Copenhagen in November 2025.
DR broadcast in October 2025 an interview with Tanderup about the book and about returning home to Denmark after 24 years in Italy and Switzerland.
Anne Dorthe Tanderup and Bjarne Riis bought in March 2024 30 percent of the company Flexfabrikken and joined the board.
Alt for Damerne published in March 2025 a major interview with Tanderup about life after her handball career and the reunion with the iron-hard ladies.
