The Romanian national team finished in 12th place at the Women’s World Handball Championship, and after returning to the country, Christina Nyagu announced the end of her career with the tricolor.

Christina Nyagu and the decision to withdraw after the Women’s Handball World Cup: “We made the decision in advance”

With four wins and two defeats, the tricolors led by Florentin Per finished the previous group in third position, also losing their chances of qualifying for the pre-Olympic tournament.

This detail convinced Christina Neaga to abandon her international career, which became known after her return to the country.

“Another missed final tournament, we didn’t achieve our goal. We wanted to be at least in the quarterfinals, to go to the pre-Olympic tournament, that was the task.

The disappointment is very great. And it’s a lot for me because I didn’t even get to play in that tournament. I was injured, I tried to recover, but I couldn’t. I tried because I knew how important the match against Germany was. I tried but I couldn’t.

We signed for 12th place for some reason. We had a sensational player Lisa (No. Eliza Bucheski) and we still finished 12th.

I am officially announcing my withdrawal from the national team if we do not have a chance to qualify for the pre-Olympic tournament. There were 17 years when I played for the national team, in which I gave everything for the team. What I have achieved, a lot, a little…

Two medals, several fourth and fifth places. More or less – time will tell.

I said earlier that this is the last World Cup for me and I want to get to the Olympic Games. It would be great for my international career. I made a decision in advance” – said Christina Nyagureports DigiSport.
