Those were the days. In the fall of 1993 they were honored as team winners for the last time in the OÖN sportsmen’s election. A few weeks later, the handball players from HC Linz, which was then called Askö Linde Linz, made it to the final of the European Cup and won the championship and cup. The most successful period in the club’s history so far. The people of Linz can no longer buy anything from the past, but it is definitely a good omen before the next international assignment.
The Greek team PAOK Saloniki is building up to Austria’s runner-up from the previous season in the second round of the EHF Cup today (7 p.m.) in the Kleinmünchen sports middle school. “Why shouldn’t we have a chance?” says sports director Klemens Kainmüller. “We have seen that we are ready for Europe,” said club president Bernhard Ditachmair last year following HC Linz’s return to the European Cup following twelve years, which ended early once morest the Bosnian club RK Izvidac following a 35:38 and seven-meter throw gave the people of Linz a lot of self-confidence.
Nevertheless, a lot will depend today on how we can cope with the absences of Lucijan Fizuleto, the linchpin of the Linz game, and the lively left-hander Nicolas Paulnsteiner. “A physically robust opponent awaits us,” says coach Milan Vunjak.
The second leg will take place a week later in Salonika. The public voting for the athlete election ends the day before. And at least there, the Linzers are well in the running as currently third. The successes of the last few months have been good .
