Renars Uscins

In 2023, Uscins was a big part of Germany’s win in the 2023 IHF Men’s Junior World Championship, on their home court. But then, Uscins morphed into a clear sollution for the senior team, having made his debut for Germany in the same year.

2024, though, has cemented the 22-year-old’s place in the squad, being the first option for Alfred Gislason in Germany’s set-up. And the last year saw Uscins secure his maiden medal with the senior team, clinching the silver at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he shined on the court.

Uscins was the fourth best scorer in the competition, with 52 goals, got a place in the All-Star team, as the best right back of the Olympics, and also was the top scorer for his club, TSV Hannover-Burgdorf, in the German Bundesliga.
