At the point when she began playing handball, Cristina Neagu gave close consideration to everything about first mentor, Maria Covaci, cleared up for her. She took in each move and rehashed each exercise many times. She never remained in line hanging tight however needed to toss over and over, showing up before the expected time at training and remaining late in a bid to get to the next level. "She avoided any unnecessary risk," says Covaci.
All through the amazing vocation that has followed, Neagu has scored innumerable objectives that were commended, respected and lauded. They have been called astounding, stunning, exact and relentless. These objectives assisted her with being named the world's best player on four events - a record in both the people's down. They likewise intrigued mentors, adversaries and partners the same.
The top scorer at the 2010 European Title, the 2015 World Cup and the Heroes Association in 2015 and 2018, Neagu has likewise scored objectives that will live lengthy in the memory. One such objective was at the 2022 European Titles when she turned into the top scorer throughout the entire existence of the competition with 303 objectives. One more was the point at which she recorded the competition's generally strong shot at 129kph at the 2020 European Titles. Then there's her 1,000th Bosses Association objective when she turned out to be just the third player in history to arrive at that achievement.
These are objectives that her rivals additionally recollect, particularly the goalkeepers who attempted to stop them, similar to Denmark's Sandra Toft: "They are evidence of how hard Cristina Neagu takes shots at objective. I recollect one ball hit me in the face and I had a blackout for a long time," she makes sense of.
However, what lies behind this multitude of exhibitions and the objectives that have left a mark on the world? For what reason is her shot so compelling and challenging to impede? These are the responses we track down in the narrative at the highest point of the page. The science behind Cristina Neagu's relentless gave investigates the mechanics behind her objectives with the assistance of innovation, trained professionals, mentors and players who were her colleagues and rivals.
The outcome is an inventive narrative for Romanian game, yet additionally for the universe of handball. In a game where everything about and can have a tremendous effect, innovation, science and information examination can at this point not be missing from the existences of present day groups and competitors, who need the most potential exact data to be serious and expand their exhibition.
Throughout the span of 20 minutes, we find a definite course of estimating Neagu's physical and specialized capacities, then investigating this information, as well as a progression of meetings with pertinent world handball characters. Names, for example, Stine Oftedal, Katrine Lunde, Sandra Toft, Ambros Martin and Tomas Ryde discuss how they have seen her game after some time and what makes her such a significant player.
The main stop on this logical raid in the background of Neagu's down occurred in Austria, at the Red Bull Competitor Execution Center (APC) in Salzburg, where competitors approach explicit examination, testing and preparing to assist them with better comprehension how they can improve with the assistance of innovation and a multidisciplinary group of specialists.
Neagu burned through two days at the exhibition place, where a few parts of her game were estimated: first, through a progression of practical tests that examined various sorts of developments and body position while shooting and hopping, as well as the dangerous power in her legs, number of steps each second and the strength in her back and center muscles.
"It was a hard and tiring day, we did a few extremely intriguing activities that I've never finished before that were likewise exceptionally hard. I'm interested to see what will emerge and what results we'll have," expressed Neagu after the primary day of testing.
"I found that she has enormous back strength, not just in that frame of mind of competitors I contrasted her with, yet additionally contrasted with male competitors who are a similar weight. She was at the top," said Dr Thomas Stöggl, Head of Innovative work at APC and Teacher in the Division of Game at the College of Salzburg. He examined the information and contrasted it and different sportswomen and competitors who had gone through comparative tests, and his discoveries are contained in the narrative.
This was trailed by a 3D examination of a few handball-explicit tossing strategies which occurred in a lab at the College of Salzburg, where the player was associated with in excess of 50 sensors. Here, as well, she scored well, uncovered Stöggl. "Her figures are among the best I've seen in other logical research center examinations, particularly among sportswomen."
The third round of estimations occurred in Bucharest's Sala Polivalentă and utilized innovation from Kinexon, a games examination organization that furnishes ongoing measurements and works together with various NBA and Bundesliga football and ball groups, as well as the European Handball League. During the European Ladies' and Men's Handball Titles, Kinexon gives continuous information on tossing speed, pass precision, level of bounces and run speed, gathered through a chip worn on the players' gear and sensors put in the handball.
On the floor of the multi-reason Lobby, Neagu reenacted different shots as she has done so often in significant matches played in the Heroes Association or in Romania's public title. This time, in any case, there were no fans in the lobby, yet an observing framework that gathered data from sensors worn by the competitor and those connected to the ball. With their assistance, Kinexon experts estimated different parts of her game like bouncing, speed or precision for the three kinds of tosses (from the leap, from the feet and from seven meters) and contrasted them and different information from worldwide handball.
"Her capacity to drift in the air however much as could be expected, get as near the objective as could really be expected, and afterward place the ball with impeccable timing are among the elements that make her tosses so risky," says Michael Elmer, a games science expert at Kinexon.
The viability of long-range shots
Yet, there's something else that characterizes her, says information expert Julian Rux, likewise counseled in the narrative. It's proficiency, which is particularly obvious in lengthy reach tosses. Rux gives a few models, including the last significant competition, the 2022 European Titles, where Neagu had a 51.6% shooting rate from past 8.5 meters, with just two different players dealing with a somewhat better rate.
"All that we've found in the actual tests - how high she can bounce, major areas of strength for how back is, the amount she can drift in the air to take shots at the objective brilliantly - all add to these magnificent numbers regarding long-range shots," finishes up Rux, pioneer behind the Handballytics stage and teacher at the EHF Expert Mentor courses, where he shows progressed measurements.
The point of view of her rivals
The information and examination given by the specialists are supplemented by a progression of meetings with players and mentors, driving handball characters who have insight of the game at the most elevated level and who discuss the imprint Neagu has left on the game.
"She has a shot that no other person does," says Stine Oftedal, a various world and European boss with the Norwegian public group. "She has the sort of force, speed and precision that I think all of us is somewhat jealous of. Her shot is simply astounding."
"At the point when Cristina was 17, she was seen by our extraordinary Vasile Stângă, who said, 'Cristina Neagu could play in a young men's group and she could play well overall'," reviews her most memorable mentor, Covaci.
This mix of logical and human viewpoints contribute both to the uniqueness of Neagu's down and to how we might interpret her presentation. Since what makes her so exceptional is unequivocally the way that it can't be characterized by a solitary aspect. It's procedure, speed, improved ability, accuracy and strength; but at the same time it's how they are united on the court and executed at essential minutes in matches.
There is explicit, quantifiable information, yet there are likewise angles that can't be estimated, that have to do with instinct, comprehension of the game, inspiration, and enthusiasm. There is outside strength, yet additionally mental and inward strength, and that characterizes extraordinary bosses.
Past measurements, actual execution and records, what separates Neagu is her capacity to constantly score when the group needs it, closes investigator Julian Rux. "She has demonstrated that throughout recent years. Her endless records and accomplishments support the way that she is the best scorer in ladies' handball history, and potentially the best player ever."
