Introduction
I know that today is Tuesday, and I was supposed to cover a topic from the crypto world, but something extraordinary happened in my homeland of Croatia that has stirred the entire nation. I wanted to share at least a part of the atmosphere that reigned yesterday in the capital city of Zagreb, at Ban Jelačić Square.
The Big Victory and Historic Achievement
Croatia, against all expectations, won a silver medal at the World Handball Championship after a long 16-year medal drought, and a reception was held in the main square — a celebration truly fit for kings.
It may be that in the USA this sport does not draw a large audience, but in Europe, handball is a sport that can easily be ranked among the top three in viewership alongside football and basketball, and in Croatia, it is undoubtedly the second most popular.
You might ask why this is so important and why a silver medal is celebrated in our country.
About 20 years ago, Croatia was a handball powerhouse, and under coach Lino Červar, it won almost everything possible in the world of sports and handball.
Then came a period of “drought” that lasted for 16 long years. Now, a young, new generation of handball players has finally and deservedly reclaimed the top spot on the world handball throne, led by coach Dagur Sigurdsson from Iceland, who currently enjoys superstar status in Croatia.
A Small Nation with Big Achievements
Moreover, Croatia is a small country — not in terms of territory or sporting spirit, but in population — yet when statistics are calculated, our number of successful athletes per capita can stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s greatest sporting nations such as the USA, Russia, China, the United Kingdom, or Germany.
We have always been a sporting nation, and every success of our athletes has been celebrated nationwide, even if it was a silver medal with a golden shine.
The handball players were greeted with the highest honors a national team could receive; an escort of military Rafale jets even accompanied the plane carrying our athletes from the moment they crossed our country’s border.
Since the time of the Homeland War and the struggle for independence, our athletes have been ambassadors of the Croatian nation, representing us to the world and defending our colors — or rather, our checkered pattern — because we are recognized worldwide for our unmistakable red-and-white checkered jerseys, which have become a kind of Croatian brand.
Conclusion
That is why every victory, no matter how small, is celebrated as if it were gold, and our athletes are respected and recognized like Hollywood stars throughout our Beautiful Homeland.
I hope that through this article and the accompanying images, I can convey even a small part of the celebration, euphoria, and atmosphere that has gripped the whole of Croatia these days. So now, enjoy the scenes of happiness.
