Unfortunately, the Krim Mercator players were not able to overcome the spell of the Aquarama Kristiansand arena once again. Despite a great fight and a game without Barbara Lazović and Jovanka Radičević, the rivals were stronger with the final score 29:23.
The Krim Mercator handball players have fulfilled their first New Year’s resolution: they won their first game in 2024. And in what a way! Jovanka Radičević scored exactly four seconds before the final buzzer sounded. For the final 25:24 victory against Romanian Rapid and two new points.
French player Grace Zaadi Deuna will join Krim Mercator as a centre back next season. The 30-year-old, who is currently still defending the colours of Romania’s CSM Bucuresti, won a gold medal at the last Women’s World Handball Championship – the second gold medal of her career at the World Championships.
Jovanka Radičević. A handball player who we believe needs no introduction. But in short: since last season, the all-time top scorer in the EHF Champions League and a player with a rich sporting career that, despite being 37 years old, still has no end in sight. If we put aside her top achievements for a moment, two words describe her best. Passion and Dedication.
Tamara Mavsar has extended her contract with Krim Mercator for two more seasons, until the end of the 2025/26 season!
Unfortunately, the Krim Mercator was not able to say goodbye to the calendar year 2023 with a victory. With a reduced squad, they had to concede once again to a strong Metz side. Despite another outstanding performance by Radičević (ten goals). The final score was 40:31.
After two home victories in Stožice Arena and a draw in Tivoli Hall, the Krim Mercator handball players had to concede to French Metz. The guests took the reins of the game right from the start and held them until the end. The score was 22:28.
Krim Mercator suffered their worst defeat of the season in Mioven, Romania. Despite a fighting performance, they were always chasing the hosts, but in the end they had to concede the upper hand. The scoreboard read 27:22 after 60 minutes of play.
The Tigresses are hot. Even after two weeks of European club break. In the fifth round of the elite EHF Champions League, in their home town of Tivoli, they competed well against the three consecutive European champions, Vipers Kristiansand, and in the end they shared the points (24:24)!
Exceptional, excellent, fantastic and the adjectives to describe her could go on and on. Who? Ana Gros, of course! The captain of the Slovenian national team, who will strengthen the #KrimovaDruzina next season. She will move to Ljubljana from Győr, Hungary, where she first shone under the European spotlight. She has signed a contract until 2026.
