Croatia’s senior women’s handball team crushed China 41:22 in the President’s Cup final at the 2025 World Championship, securing 25th place with a dominant display decided by halftime.
Croatia led 4:1 early, surging to +6 by the 10th minute and peaking at +11 (23:13 halftime) behind Lucija Bešen’s 12 saves (48%) and airtight defense; China turned it over 11 times at 43% shooting versus Croatia’s 77%.
Ivica Obrvan rotated reserves, all scoring as China tried 7-on-6 futilely; Croatia punished errors for a +19 peak. Tina Barišić led with 8 goals, Andrea Šimara added 7; MVP Dejana Milosavljević went 3/3 with 4 assists. Fengying Pan topped China with 12.
Croatia claimed the President’s Cup but marked their worst Worlds finish ever.
