Read the review of the participation of the BiH Olympic team in the statement of the President of the Olympic Committee of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Academician Prof. Dr. Izet Rađo and Vice-Presidents Prof. Dr. Milanko Mučibabić and Marijan Kvesić.
Dear citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, dear athletes and sports friends,
After the Olympic Games in Paris have ended, we would like to take this opportunity to address all citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina, our athletes, coaches, and everyone who supported our Olympic team.
These Games were a global sports scene where the strength of the sports spirit, perseverance, and unity that we carry within us was once again demonstrated. Our athletes are heroines and heroes, who took Bosnia and Herzegovina from our conditions to a planetary event where 206 countries and 10,500 athletes fought for prestige in the spirit of the universal Olympic motto, faster, higher, stronger, but also together.
Dear athletes,
You have represented our homeland with dignity, fighting with heart and soul, giving your best in all disciplines. Your dedication and hard work are commendable.
We would like to especially thank every coach and member of the Olympic team who worked tirelessly and prepared the athletes for these Games. Your hard work and dedication do not go unnoticed. Also, thank you to all those who were with our athletes, from families to fans, who contributed to creating a positive atmosphere and motivation with their encouragement and support. Thank you for sharing moments of joy, and hope, but also challenges with us. Thank you, Larisa, Lana, Aleksandra, Mesuda, and Jovan, and thank you once again to your families, clubs, and associations!
The Olympic Games are more than just sports competitions. They are a platform for promoting peace, friendship and understanding between peoples. We are proud of our athletes because they represented our country with dignity, showing everyone that we, as a small but courageous nation, have the potential for results on the global sports scene.
Although we did not return with the medal we all wanted, every performance, every step on the tatami, every stroke in the pool, every throw, was golden in its own way. We learned valuable lessons, gained new experiences, and laid the foundation for future successes.
Our country continues to believe in its athletes and their ability to achieve big dreams. Together we must work to create even better conditions for sports in Bosnia and Herzegovina so that future generations have the opportunity to achieve top results on the world's biggest stages.
Let us move forward determined to achieve even greater successes in the future with better quality and systematic support from the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Thank you!”
