Heidi Loke scored eight goals and Norway stayed on course for a second successive Olympic Games gold medal in women's Handball as they reached Saturday's final with a 31-25 victory over the Republic of Korea.
The Scandinavians, who topped the podium in Beijing four years ago, have not been at their best at London 2012, but they are finding form at the right time and are guaranteed at least a silver medal when they meet Spain or Montenegro in two days' time.
