His father, Talant, was the IHF Male Player of the Year in 1994 and 1996. But now in his prime, Alex, has become one of the most clutch players in handball, delivering fantastic performances time and time again. His absence from Spain’s team at the EHF EURO 2024 saw “Los Hispanos” exit quickly, after the preliminary round.

But when Dujshebaev came back for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the right back was worth his weight in gold. While scoring 19 goals in the competition, Dujshebaev was the third best assists provider, with 33, helping his side navigate through thick and thin, emerging as a title contender, before losing in the semi-finals against Germany. Eventually, Dujshebaev secured his second Olympic medal, the bronze, after Spain finished third at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
