FEATURE: Ambition and passion have been key for the quick development of wheelchair handball in Lithuania, who prepare to host the EHF European Wheelchair Handball Championship 2025.

Initiators Paulius Glaska and Žilvinas Galimovas explain how the sport in Lithuania went so fast from zero to a hundred, and what its future holds. “We have already achieved more than we ever imagined when we first started.”
