Lithuanian records and anti-records in the European Championship are consistent, but not fixed

In the three decades since it became an official member, the Lithuanian team has won five sets of medals in Europe – one gold, three silver and one bronze.

In total, 95 matches were played in the continental championship during that period – 68 victories and 27 defeats.

It all happened, but the greatest achievements and of course the records remain the most vital in history. Some are really impressive, hard to move and have been around since 1995, while others are probably just a matter of time before they get improved.
