Final game of the 2010 Handball European Championship in Austria, Wien, played on January 31st. In this handball classic Croatia played great 1st half but it took France 2-3 minutes to come back and overtake the lead. Croatia tried to keep up with France tempo in 2nd half but mist few key shots, especially from 7m range. Karabatić was unstoppable again and France won this Euro gold medal. But Croatian team is young, the youngest team of this tournament, and the future is theirs.
