games twice (2008, 2012).
His nickname is « The Wall » or « Titi » for his
team-mates.
He’s an example for every handball goalkeeper.
In 2013 , he received the medal of « Ordre national du

My opinion :
Omeyer is my idol for his style of game, his performances and his
results.
When he plays handball we have the impression that it’s easy to stop shoots, he looks like a
« sea star ».
I’m a goalkeeper in my handball club and I’d like to be like him but
it’s difficult !
