RUKOMET, SP KADETA: HRVATSKA OSVOJILA SREBRNU MEDALJU  
03.08.2007         
 

Hrvatska kadetska reprezentacija osvojila je srebrnu medalju na Svjetskom prvenstvu, koje se održalo u Bahreinu. U finalnom susretu mladi hrvatski rukometaši izgubili su od Danske s 27:26 (13:13). Tako su Danci uzvratili hrvatskim vršnjacima za poraz u finalu prošlogodišnjeg Europskog prvenstva.

Pad koncentracije polovicom drugog dijela odnio zlato

Prvo poluvrijeme bilo je vrlo izjednačeno i nijedna momčad nije uspjela povesti s više od dva pogotka razlike. Nakon što je prvi dio završen s 13:13, mladi hrvatski rukometaši bolje su otvorili nastavak i poveli s 15:13.Izjednačena borba vodila se do polovice drugog poluvremena, a tada dolazi do velikog pada u igri Hrvatske. Danci u samo 12 minuta napravili seriju od 9:2 i u 54. minuti pobjegli na gotovo nedostižnih sedam pogodaka. Mladi hrvatski rukometaši ipk se nisu predavali te su umalo napravili preokret. Sa šest uzastopnih pogodaka opasno su zaprijetili, ali su na kraju ostali na samo jednom pogotku zaostatka. Najbolji u hrvatskim redovima bili su Hrvoje Tojčić i Manuel Štrlek s po sedam pogodaka, a vratar Ivan Pešić skupio je 13 obrana. U današnjem susretu zakazao je najbolji hrvatski rukometaš Domagoj Duvnjak, koji nije postigao nijedan pogodak, iako je igrao svih 60 minuta.

U borbi za treće mjesto Švedska je pobijedila Argentinu s 34:27 (15:11).
