Bosnian athlete Stefan Cukovic broke a national record in 1500m men indoor race set 42 years ago by retired racer Vinko Pokrajcic.
Cukovic took part in the ‘Serbia Open’ tour in Belgrade on Wednesday, finishing the race as the third competitor in 3:48:20.
Ćuković oborio državni rekord legendarnog Vinka Pokrajčića‼️Beograd (24.2.2021.) – Na međunarodnom dvoranskom mitingu "Serbia Open" iz serije Indoor Tour Bronze, održanom u Beogradu, nastupilo je i troje naših atletičara. Najvredniji rezultat je postigao Stefan Ćuković koji je postavio novi dvoranski rekord BiH na 1.500 metara. Istrčao je sjajno vrijeme 3:47.47 što mu je bilo dovoljno za treće mjesto, ali što je važnije oborio je bh. rekord kojeg je od 1979. godine držao legendarni Vinko Pokrajčić (3:48,20), koji je takođe bio član AK Sarajevo. Na mitingu su nastupili i naši sprinteri na 60m Egon Savić i Ajla Reizbegović. Egon je u prvoj polufinalnoj utrci zauzeo 5.mjesto sa rezultatom 7.00 što nije bilo dovoljno za finalnu utrku. Naša rekorderka Ajla Reizbegović je zauzela 7.mjesto sa rezultatom 8.01. Obzirom da im je ovo prvi međunarodni nastup u seniorskoj kategoriji stečeno je dragocjeno iskustvo za naredne nastupe. Čestitamo trenerima i atletičarima na nastupu. Stefan Ćuković Egon Savic Vahida Kozic #1500m #nationalrecord

“Everyone dreams of being the best one in his own country. My dream came true as I became a new record holder for Bosnia and Herzegovina. I was striving to that goal. The effort and hard work paid off,” said the 23-year-old athlete, a member of Bosnia's national team.
The young runner said this was the competition he would remember for the rest of his life, but he added he still had great ambitions.
“In a few years, I plan on breaking the record of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1500m outdoor race. I hope I can do it if I do some quality training and suffer no injury,” he added.
Cukovic's record came on the same day when Bosnia's Amel Tuka beat the 800m indoor race record both for Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Balkans.
