Montenegrin handball players are not part of the Olympic story this time, but the honor of our handball in Paris is defended by a trio - a legendary coach and two referees.

In April, Dragan Adžić wrote the history of Slovenia when he took the country's handball players to Paris, and today the first victory from the biggest sports event has arrived.

His girls in the 2nd round of the Olympic Games were better than South Korea (30:23) and thus took a big step towards perhaps another page in history and a place in the quarterfinals.

Slovenia was led to victory by Tamara Mavsat with seven goals, Tjaša Stanko with six, Ana Gros with four and Elizabet Omoregi with four...

A little later, as part of the same group (A), Miloš Ražnatović and Ivan Pavićević from Cetinje went to the field of the "Paris Expo" hall and thus became the first Montenegrin handball referees to officiate a match at the Olympic Games.

The two shared justice during the duel between Sweden and Germany, in which the Scandinavian team won with 31:28.

After several European and world championships and matches in the Champions League, the tandem from Priještina added a match on the biggest planetary stage to their great resume.
