So far, the best placement of Czech handball players out of five participations in the World Championships is the 11th place, which they took in their independent premiere in 1995 and in their previous participation eight years ago. In the era of Czechoslovakia, the juniors finished sixth best in 1987, but the quarterfinals were not played at that time.
Today, Poloz’s team waited for the Germans to do after the victory over the Slovenians. They clearly won over Angola at 33:21 and won the third eight-final group. The Czechs will start the group at 9-12. place on Thursday against Japan.
