Kristina "Mulle" Kristiansen (born 13 July 1989) is a Danish handball player for Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub and the Danish national team.[1][2]
At the 2013 World Championship, she was a part of the Danish team that won bronze medals, breaking a 9 year streak without medals for the Danish team. They beat Poland 30-26.[3]
In March 2015 it was announced that she joined Nykøbing Falster Håndboldklub from the 2016-17 season.[4] The this signaled that the team, which had just been promoted two year prior and barely survived relegation, would ramp up investment. The move sparked public interest in the, at the time, relatively obscure team. The following season they had the highest viewership numbers in the Danish handball league, men's or women's.[5] In 2017 she won the Danish championship with the club.
