Career

In the club

Christiansen started playing handball at Vidar Sønderburg. When one of his teammates dropped out due to an illness, he moved from the position of circular to the left winger position at the age of ten . From 1990 Christiansen ran for Ribe HK and two years later switched to KIF Kolding . With Kolding he won the Danish championship twice and the Danish cup once.

Christiansen played from the 1996/97 season at SG Flensburg-Handewitt with the number 15 on his back. In his first season at SG, in which the team won the EHF Cup , he was initially just a reservist behind the then German national player Holger Schneider . In the 1997/98 season he was the first scorer in the Flensburg jersey. With the Euro-City-Cup 1999 and the European Cup Winners' Cup 2001, two further international titles followed. In 2003 he won the first national title with the SG, the DHB Cup . In the final, Christiansen scored the decisive goal in extra time for the 31:30 success against TUSEM Essen . In the following two seasons, the SG was able to successfully defend its title in the DHB Cup. In the 2003/04 season Christiansen won the German championship with the SG.

Christiansen left SG Flensburg-Handewitt in summer 2010. In the 14 seasons at SG, the Dane played a total of 626 competitive games for Flensburg, in which he threw 3996 goals (1623 seven meters ). He then played for the Danish first division club KIF Kolding . After the 2011/12 season he ended his career there.

In the national team

Christiansen scored a goal on his debut for the Danish national team on October 25, 1992 against the Netherlands. His first tournament with Denmark was the 1996 European Championship in Spain . In the following five years, Christiansen was only able to qualify with Denmark for the 1999 World Cup and the 2000 European Championship , in the finals of which he also took part. At the EM 2002 , Denmark finished third and Christiansen was elected to the All-Star-Team.

His next tournaments were the 2003 World Cup , 2004 European Championship , 2005 World Cup , 2006 European Championship and 2007 World Cup , where he won the bronze medal at the 2004 and 2006 European Championships and the 2007 World Cup. Christiansen won his first title with the national team at the 2008 European Championship . In addition, he was elected to the All-Star Team and shared the top scorer's crown with Nikola Karabatić and Ivano Balić . In the same year Christiansen took part in the Olympic Games , in which he finished seventh. After missing a podium at the 2009 World Cup and the 2010 European Championship , he finished second with the Danish selection at the 2011 World Cup . A year later he won his second European title .

Christiansen played his last international match against Germany on April 7, 2012. After the winger was not called into the squad for the 2012 Olympics , he ended his career.
