Quick Facts Personal information, Full name ...

Grønbæk initially retired in march 2005,[2] but later the same year she came back to professional handball, signing for the Spanish club Cementos. [3] However after only a week at the club, head coach Gregorio Garcia announced that she could not expect playing time. This prompted her to leave the club without even playing a single match. She instead signed a two month contract with the Icelandic club FH Handbolti.[4]

Today she works as physiotherapist.[5]
