Knorr really took it up a notch in 2023, displaying some excellent handball, especially at his second appearance at the IHF Men’s World Championship. With 53 goals for Germany, he was instrumental in helping his side secure the fifth place at Poland/Sweden 2023, as Knorr became a dual-threat player, both with powerful shots, as well with exquisite assists.

His performances did not go unnoticed, as he was also selected as the Best Young Player in the All-Star team for the 2023 IHF Men’s World Championship, with a stellar 2023 for Knorr, who is shaping up to be a key player and a lynchpin for both his national team and his club side, Rhein-Neckar Lowen.
