October 14,  2019 -  Croatia’s best gymnast Tin Srbic won the silver medal at the World Championships in the men’s horizontal bar final on the last day of the competition in Stuttgart, Germany. He even performed in the final with an injured wrist.

Namely, HRT reports that the 2017 World Champion in Montreal had to practice with a lower starting grade due to an injury, but with a very accurate performance, he earned a total score of 14,666 points, which was enough for the silver medal.

The world champion is Brazilian Arthur Mariano, who achieved a score of 14,900 points, while the bronze medal went to Russo Artur Dalaloyan (14,533), who also won the silver medal in the vault on Sunday.

After winning the silver medal in Stuttgart, young Croatian gymnast Tin Srbic won his fourth Croatian medal at the World Championships and his 11th at major international competitions.

Srbic also became the first Croatian gymnast with two medals at the World Championships. Recall, the Zagreb gymnast won the gold medal two years ago in Montreal, and now in Stuttgart, he’s booked the silver.

However, Srbic isn’t the only Croatian to take home a medal this weekend. Filip Ude celebrated the silver medal on the pommel horse, while Mario Moznik received a medal on the bars. 

This is Ude’s second medal after the at the 2014 World Championships in Nanning, while Moznik won third in the same championship.

Let's add that Srbic has won a total of eleven medals for Croatia at the Olympics, World and European Championships.

Namely, Croatia has received one medal at the Olympics and one silver thanks to Filip Ude in Beijing in 2008. Croatian gymnasts have won four medals at the World Championships and six at the European championships.

September 16, 2019 - Celebrated Croatian gymnast Tin Srbic made an international comeback in a big way. In the final of the World Cup in Paris, Tin owned the competition to win the gold medal with an impressively high score of 14.900 points.

HRT reports that this competition is the first since the World Cup in Osijek back in May for the former world champion and current European vice-champion, and this gold medal is the first to shine for Srbic after March and Doha. This gold medal in Paris is the sixth in the World Cup for Srbic. However, worth more than the gold medal itself is the fact that Tin won valuable points in the fight to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics, and has kicked off with excellent preparation for the Stuttgart World Championship.

“It was very difficult for me because the qualifications and final are within 24 hours, so your hands are heavy, but the agreement with the trainer was to do the strongest exercise no matter what, and that's what I did. I made a small mistake because I failed to connect all four flight elements, so the initial rating was 6.3, not 6.5. All in all, I am very pleased with what I have done, and I am ready for the World Championship! And now, I can finally have a real dinner and the best burger I have ever eaten, which is another reason why I like coming to Paris,” Tin said after the final in a cheerful mood.

Russian Sergei Eltcov (14.700) took second place in the final, while Taiwanese gymnast Chia-Hung Tang came in third with a score of 14.550.

Next week, the Croatia national team awaits a new World Cup station - in Guimaraes, Portugal. Matija Baron and Renato Prpic, as well as Aurel Benovic, will perform again, while Croatia’s female gymnasts Ana Dzherek, Tijana Tkalcec, and Petra Furac will begin their path to the Portugal podium.

After winning the gold medal, Tin Srbic returns to Zagreb before his next challenge - the Stuttgart World Championship.
