3. 2004: Bojana Radulovic sets single tournament scoring record
With 72 goals, Hungary back Bojana Radulovic was the top scorer of the EHF EURO 2004 — and those 72 goals made her the record holder for most goals scored in a single EHF EURO tournament, across both the men’s and women’s events.
That record was set by Radulovic in fewer matches played by a team progressing to the finals today — three in the preliminary round, three in the main round, a semi-final and, in this case, the 3/4 placement match. Today, there are four games for each team in the main round.
2. 2022: Cristina Neagu becomes all-time top scorer
Romania left back Cristina Neagu became the all-time top scorer of the Women’s EHF EURO in 2018. Neagu had entered the EHF EURO 2018 on a career tally of 193 goals in the event, which had her third on the all-time list behind Germany’s Grit Jurack (194) and Farkas (205). When she passed the 200-goal mark, in Romania’s round 1 match, she became only the second woman and third player in history to do it.
Since then, Sweden’s Isabelle Gulldén, Spain’s Carmen Martín, Norway’s Nora Mørk and Montenegro’s Jovanka Radicevic also reached the 200-goal milestone.
Back to 2018, in round 2, Neagu passed Farkas, whose record had stood since 2002, and settled into first place on the all-time top scorer ranking in the women’s event.
Four years later, in 2022, she passed Icelander Gudjon Valur Sigurdsson — the all-time leader on the men’s side, with 288 goals — to become the outright all-time top scorer across both the Men’s and Women’s EHF EURO.
And she did not stop there, going on to smash the 300-goal barrier as well. With the EHF EURO 2022 being Neagu’s last, she ended her career in the competition with a tally of 303 — a record that will undoubtedly stand for many years to come.
Neagu was top scorer of an EHF EURO tournament only once, in 2010, when she netted 53 goals and Romania took the bronze medal — their only medal in the competition to date. Her all-time top scorer record therefore reflects consistency across the EHF EUROs in which she participated, spanning from 2008 to 2022.
