The Sprint Queen Reigns Supreme

For the third consecutive week, Serbian athletics stars have descended upon Slovenia to battle on the track. While the competition was fierce, only one name echoed through the stadiums as the undisputed champion: Milica Emini. The sprint sensation, who already claimed glory in Maribor earlier in the weekend, refused to let her momentum fade. Instead, she doubled down on her dominance, securing another victory in the 100m hurdles at the meeting in Ptuj.

Emini is not just a competitor; she is a benchmark. As the Serbian record holder on the 100m hurdles—the only athlete from the nation to break the 13-second barrier with a stellar 12.99 in 2023—she carried the weight of expectation with ease. Her recent form has been nothing short of electric. After clocking an impressive 13.16 seconds to win in Maribor, she arrived in Ptuj ready for war. In the heats, she flashed her speed with a 13.29, but it was the final that truly showcased her class. Fighting through the lanes, she crossed the line with a time of 13.31, leaving her rivals in her wake.

Supporting Cast Shines

While Emini stole the headlines, other Serbian athletes ensured their presence was felt. Marija Bukvić provided crucial support in the hurdles, finishing fourth in the same final with a respectable 13.98. In the field events, Magdalena Stevanović, representing Radnički Kragujevac, delivered a powerful performance in the long jump. She secured third place with a leap of 5.87 meters, proving her consistency at the elite level.

The track action continued with strong showings from the middle-distance and field specialists. Aleksandra Pešić, representing AOK Košutnjak, powered through the 400m in 54.12 seconds. Meanwhile, Dimitrije Novaković from AK Mladost Zemun added to the team's tally with a long jump of 7.29 meters. It was another week of grit and glory for Serbian athletics, proving that depth and talent continue to flow from the Balkans.
