The answer should be clear to anybody who has ever tried to compete in any competition, but in Croatia, it is always more about the emotions and the media influence than the facts itself

After the last three major tournaments - the World Championship in Qatar 2015, the European Championships in Poland, and the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 - Croatia has won only one medal and that is the bronze medal from Poland. The Croatian handball team is facing a new challenge - the World Championship - which will be held from January 11 to 29 in France.
