Last year we wrote that Nikola Karabatic made handball sexy, but in spite of the undeniable sexiness boost he got with his Beijing medal, we were certainly not expecting Croatian handballer Ivano Balić to fall for him [above, red jersey and Alanis Morissette hairdo]. The ‘kiss’ happened on February 1st, during the 2009 Men’s World Handball Championship in Zagreb, Croatia.

It’s not the first time that Nikola ventures into gay territory, voluntarily or not. Two years ago for instance, he danced shirtless to the sound of Village People’s YMCA with his fellow players from the German club of Kiel [above]. The video quality is really crappy though — sorry about that.

If you call that a kiss you have a lot to learn. He was just in the guys face telling him off. No kiss what-so-ever.

FYI this is Ivano’s way of expressing anger, otherwise he only kisses girls – despite of the hairdo. Sorry guys!
