Juan García Lorenzana, known as Juanín García, (born 28 August 1977 in León) is a Spanish handball player. He currently plays for Barcelona, with whom he won the Champions League in 2011 in the finale against Ciudad Real.
He participated at the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing as a member of the Spain national handball team. The team won a bronze medal, defeating Croatia.
Juanín is actually an exception in heights for a handball player. With his 1m76 he's the littlest player of Barcelona and of the Spanish national team. Although he's so small, he has an exceptional high jump for his length and is extremely quickly. Nevertheless it is an amusing sight to see him standing next to his Hungarian teammate László Nagy (2m07) while he nearly reaches his shoulders.
