Hungary is the new U18 men's world champion. In a nail-biting gold medal final the Magyars edged Spain 10-8 in a penalty shoot-out. The penalties were needed as both sides were tied 5-5 after regulation. Spain, after scoring the equaliser with just over a minute remaining, even were close to the win but their best attempt in the final phase hit the crossbar. In the shoot-out Hungary remained perfect while the only Spanish miss proved costly as the György Horkai coached Hungarians became the successor of inaugural and 2012 world champion Italy. Meanwhile Spain finished a nice tournanent with a silver medal. Russia finished third holding off Serbia 11-9 in the bronze medal. Montenegro took fifth in a high-scoring battle topping hosts Turkey. Seventh place was won by Italy who, in the final day's opening match, defeated Croatia 8-10.

¡España, subcampeona del Mundo Juvenil!

10/08/2014 - La Selección Masculina Juvenil se ha colgado la medalla de plata en el Mundial de Estambul tras caer en la tanda de penaltis ante Hungría (5—5 en el tiempo reglamentario, 10—8 final). El equipo de David Martín cierra con ello un gran campeonato y reivindica el gran trabajo de nuestros clubes y Federaciones Territoriales con una segunda plaza con sabor a oro. Rusia ha completado el podio tras imponerse a Serbia en el duelo por el bronce.

El partido más deseado del campeonato ha arrancado con una tónica goleadora muy baja. Hungría ha golpeado primero, pero ha sido España quien se ha hecho con el mando desde entonces, dominando con mínimas ventajas hasta llevar al descanso el 2-3. David Martín pedía cautela desde el banco en el descanso, intermedio que ha concluido con la conjura española.

Las cosas no podían empezar mejor para los nuestros en el tercer período. Gol desde el arco y máxima renta del partido hasta ese momento (2-4). La Selección daba la sensación de tener el choque bajo control, e incluso ha dispuesto de opciones para adelantarse con tres goles de distancia. Sin embargo, ha sido el conjunto magiar quien ha recuperado terreno, firmando con un chute exterior el 3-4 con que ha concluido el tercer período. En los ocho minutos definitivos, ambos equipos han arrancado dispuestos a anotar. Micky Linares ha desbaratado una clara opción desde el arco, y en la opción siguiente, España ha estrellado un claro lanzamiento en la madera. Hacia el ecuador del cuarto se han producido las dos jugadas fatídicas ara los nuestros, con el 4-4 en opción de superioridad, y el posterior 5-4, que ha llegado cuando el corno reflejaba 4 minutos para el final. A sabiendas de que quedaba mucho por jugar y con la experiencia de los encuentros precedentes, España ha persistido para acabar firmando el 5-5 a 1’06 de la conclusión.

Las últimas opciones para ambos equipos han sido agónicas. Micky Linares ha salvado el 6-5 con una magnífica intervención y la ayuda del palo a 41 segundos, madera que también ha repelido el lanzamiento español a 10 de la conclusión, lo que relegaba la decisión del choque, por tercer partido consecutivo, a los lanzamientos de penalti.

En la tanda definitiva, la parada del meta húngaro en el primer lanzamiento español ha sido clave. Desde este momento, ni uno ni otro equipo erraría sus lanzamientos, lo que refleja el 10-8 definitivo que rubrica la medalla de plata para los nuestros, un excelente trabajo en el debut como seleccionadores de David Martín y Mario García. Ha completado el medallero Rusia, que se ha hecho con el Bronce al batir a Serbia por un ajustado 11-9.

¡¡España, a la final del Mundial Juvenil!!

09/08/2014 - España ha batido a Serbia en los penaltis tras empatar a cinco en el tiempo reglamentario y se ha adjudicado el pase a la gran final del campeonato del Mundo de Estambul. El meta español, Micky Linares, ha sido clave en la tanda final, deteniendo dos lanzamientos que mantienen a los nuestros lanzados en el torneo, donde continúan como invictos. España se medirá mañana en la gran final a Hungría.

No hay quien pare a la España Juvenil de David Martín y Mario García. El conjunto español ha vuelto a volcar los favoritismos para adjudicarse la clasificación ante uno de los grandes favoritos del campeonato, Serbia, que había batido a los nuestros en la Vikelas Cup, último torneo de preparación antes del evento.

El choque de hoy ha llegado al fin del tiempo reglamentario con igualada a cinco dianas, gracias a los goles de Roger Tahull (2), Miquel Gasulla, Borja Fenoy y Sergi Cabanas. En los lanzamientos de cinco metros, la diferencia la ha marcado el meta Micky Linares, que ha detenido dos penaltis para adjudicar la tanda y el partido a los nuestros por 4-3 (agregado de 9-8).

La Selección se medirá mañana en la gran final a Hungría, que se ha deshecho de Rusia en la otra semifinal. El último precedente entre ambos equipos nos devuelve a la fase de grupos con empate.

A busy day 6 of the men's world youth championships in Istanbul was marked by heavy rains that even caused some delay and cancellation of one match as Spain and Canada were forced to move elsewhere to play their crossover match for quarter-final qualification, eventually won by Spain 10-6. Good news was to be welcomed by the home fans though as Turkey prevailed in a high-scoring encounter against Japan to win 14-15 and advance to the quarter-finals where group A winners Hungary await. In the other crossover matches it was Croatia who edged USA thanks to a better first half eventually finishing on top 6-8 while Italy was the final side to join the quarterfinalists beating Australia 3-9 in Thursday's last match. The early session saw the bottom half of the tournament compete. Kazakhstan kicked off the action by topping Peru 11-8 and then Argentna won a close game over South Africa 7-6 to remain in the run for a nice classification. The day's third match-up was also a rather close one as Egypt and New Zealand were tied 13-13 after regulation and the penalty shoot-out saw the Egyptians winning 5-4 for the 18-17 final score. They will now Friday face Brazil who convincingly got past Iran 4-12. In the championships quarter-finals on Friday Hungary faces hosts Turkey, Montenegro takes on Spain while group C winners Russia meet Croatia for a spot in the semis. And finally Serbia battles Italy to complete the semi-finalists Friday night. 2nd FINA World Men's Youth Championships

España supera a Canadá y ya está en cuartos

07/08/2014 - La Selección Juvenil ha superado a Canadá por 10—6 (3—1, 4—3, 0—1 y 3—1) y ya está en cuartos de final del Mundial tras una agitada jornada. La Selección ha debido disputar este encuentro en la piscina de entrenamiento y sin cronómetros tras suspenderse los partidos en la piscina del campeonato debido a una fuerte tormenta. Montenegro será nuestro rival mañana en cuartos.

El inicio de los cruces en el Mundial de Estambul ha sido harto complicado para la Selección Española. El choque ante Canadá, previsto a primera hora de esta tarde, ha debido ser suspendido debido a la fortísima tormenta que ha descargado sobre la capital turca, obligando a la organización a derivarlo a la instalación cubierta de entrenamiento. Sin embargo, existía un importante hándicap: esta piscina no disponía de cronos.

El equipo de David Martín y Mario García ha sabido sobreponerse a las circunstancias para dominar el compromiso desde el primer parcial y firmar un 10-6 que certifica su progreso a los cuartos de final. La anotación del día la han encabezado Roger Tahull, autor de tres tantos, y Sergi Cabanas, que ha firmado dos. También han marcado una diana Marc Corbalán, Agustí Pericas, Borja Fenoy, Guillem Garcia y Alejandro Bustos.

La Selección se medirá mañana a la temible Montenegro, que accede a los cuartos como líder invicta del grupo B, donde se impuso a Austria (8-4), Argentina (17-3) y Japón (14-10). El horario del partido queda por determinar.

ESP vence a EE.UU. y cierra la 1ª fase invicta

06/08/2014 - La Selección Juvenil ha cerrado una brillante primera fase en el Mundial con victoria ante los EE.UU. por 8—11 (2—2, 2—4, —2 y 2—3). En el encuentro de hoy, celebrado en el primer turno matinal, han anotado Borja Fenoy y Roger Tahull (tres goles cada uno), Marc Corbalán (dos más) y Miquel Gasulla, Xavi Serra y Sergi Cabanas. Los de David Martín cierran la liguilla en 2ª plaza igualados a 7 puntos con Hungría, y deberán disputar los octavos de final mañana ante Canadá (3º grupo D).

Thanks to an 8-10 comeback win for Italy over hosts Turkey in the last match of the final group stage day of the 2014 men's world youth championships in Istanbul, the final rankings in group C were tussled on the very last moment. The Italians trailed the home side no less than 7-3 at half-time of their encounter on Wednesday before a completely different second half turned things around. Thanks to 1-3 and 0-4 runs Italy went on to win by 2 and therewith held Turkey from a possible group win and bye in the qualification round tomorrow. Now the Italians took second place behind Russia while Turkey finishes third and faces group B 2nd-ranked Japan for a spot in the quarter-finals. Italy in the next round faces Australia to qualify with the final eight. In other results on Thursday Spain secured their second spot in their group holding off USA 8-11 in the opening match, followed by close clash with Kazakhstan prevailing over Egypt 8-7. Montenegro then crushed Iran 14-0 and Japan boosted its confidence by beating Australia 7-11 to finish second in group B. Russia took the top spot in group C thanks to a solid 7-12 victory over Brazil and Serbia powered to first place in group D rolling past Canada 3-20 to stay unbeaten in the group stage. New Zealand, although out of medal contention, avoid a last place finish in that group D by convincingly topping Peru 15-6 before Italy stunned the home crowd with their 2-goal victory to close out the preliminary phase. All group winners directly qualified for the quarter-finals while the respective 2nd and 3rd ranked teams will be in action tomorrow to join them with the final eight teams of the tournament.

Serbia beats Croatia, Hungary ties in final seconds - Istanbul day 4

Tim Hartog

Some big match-ups and close games marked the fourth day at the men's world youth championships in Istanbul on Tuesday. Canada started off well by dominating the second and fourth quarter of their match against New Zealand to win 6-9. Serbia and Croatia, the same countries who battled for the bronze medal two years ago in the inaugural championships edition in Perth, took center stage next. A close match-up for three periods both sides had leads before Serbia finally secured an 11-9 victory by winning the final period 3-1. USA then rolled past Kazakhstan before Spain and Hungary prove to be close as well. In fact, the Spaniards were as close to a confidence-boosting victory over the ambitious Hungarians as they could get before Hungary equalised with just five seconds remaining. The draw means Hungary is likely to top their group but will have to await the result from the USA-Spain game on Wednesday to confirm. Spain needs a ten-goal rout of the Americans to take the group's first place. Meanwhile on Tuesday Montenegro overcame a tough opponent in Autralia who fought well in especially the first half but had to settle for the 4-8 defeat as the Montenegrins walked away in the third term and secured their solid win in the final eight minutes. Another close game was to be seen up next as Argentina held on against Iran to triumph 9-10. Italy then crushed South Africa 17-1 before the final match-up of the day turned into a scoring festival. No less than 35 goals were on display as Brazil took on hosts Turkey who prevailed and won their second match of the tournament with an incredible score of 16-19. Wednesday will see the final group stage round and thus the winners who automatically qualify for the quarter-finals.2nd FINA World Men's Youth Championships

Brazil was the first side victorious on day 3 of the world men's youth championships in Istanbul.

The third preliminary round featured more big victories as Canada rolled past Peru 18-6, Hungary crushed Kazakhstan 24-2 and Australia held Argentina to scoring just three goals in a 3-17 win. The closes match of the day was the final one as hosts Turkey looked well underway to edging Russia leading 8-6 with four minutes to play.

After the successful inaugural 2012 World Youth (age 18 & under) championships in Perth, Australia this summer the respective second editions will be held. First up the men's tournament in Istanbul, Turkey. Here no less than nineteen teams will try become the successor of Italy who claimed the gold medal late 2012 by winning a memorable final over Hungary 8-10. The highly talented side went on to also conquer the 20 & under World Juniors in Szombathelyi, Hungary the following year. And with standouts Andrea Fondelli and Alessandro Velotto already in action for the senior Italian team at the recent European championships in Budapest winning the bronze medal, one could see where having success at these junior tournaments can lead up to. Serbia's Dusan Mandic is one of the other true examples. 

Now a busy preliminary round kicks off on Saturday with special attention to group A where Spain and Hungary will meet USA while Serbia and Croatia (battling for the bronze in the 2012 edition, Serbia won 8-7) were drawn in group D with Peru, Canada and New Zealand as opponents. The Serbs will miss one of the greatest talents of this generation in centre-back Nikola Jaksic who is recovering from an injury in the hope of being fit in time for the later U19 European Junior Championships in Tbilisi, Georgia. Meanwhile defending champions Italy face hosts Turkey, Brazil, Russia and South Africa in group C. The five-team group B is led by last year's U17 European championship gold medallists Montenegro who take on Australia, Iran, Argentina and Japan in the group stage. The respective group winners advance to the quarter-finals, the second and third-ranked teams play a qualification round to join them.
