Medal record
|
Ivan Pešić (born 17 March 1989) is a Croatian handball goalkeeper for HBC Nantes and the Croatian national team.[1]
The first few years as a player played Pešić in his hometown
At a dance hall in February 2009 some hungarians people attacked Pešić and teammate Marin Cozma with a knife. Pešić was so badly injured by a knife that he had to remove a kidney.[2] His teammate Marian Cozma died after two stab wounds to the heart, another colleague, Žarko Šešum, suffered skull fractures due to heavy kicks to the head.[3]
Even though Pešić was an unseen substitute at the 2009 World Men's Handball Championship in Croatia he still won a medal.
Pešić has played for Croatia at the 2011 World Championship, 2013 Mediterranean Games and has recently been called up for the 2016 Summer Olympics qualification tournament[4]
