Defeat against Croatia: handball players are worried about the Olympics. Renars Uscins was once again the best scorer with eight goals for the German selection.

The chance of taking part in the Olympics still remains high. A win over Austria should be enough on Sunday. Only the two best teams from the group of four secure a ticket to the Summer Games in France. The DHB team started very nervously and, as at the European Championships, they despaired of Croatia's keeper Dominik Kuzmanovic.
