A Serbian Triumph in Greece

The bronze-level continental series meet held in the Greek city of Alexandria proved to be a highly successful outing for Serbian athletics. Four out of the six Serbian representatives managed to finish in the top three of their respective events, showcasing the depth and current form of the national squad heading into the outdoor season.

The standout performer of the day was undoubtedly Marko Vlahovic. Competing at the Yorgos Pantos Memorial, Vlahovic delivered a commanding performance in the long jump, clearing 7.92 meters to claim victory. This impressive mark represents a new personal best for the athlete, signaling that he is in excellent shape and ready for major challenges ahead. The member of ZAK Atletikus demonstrated consistency and power, leaving the competition in his wake.

Vlahovic’s winning leap was sufficient to edge out Samuel Kogali from Great Britain, who finished second with 7.78 meters. Andreas Mahalekides from Cyprus took the bronze medal with a jump of 7.75 meters. The well-known Macedonian athlete Andreas Trajkovski rounded out the top four with a mark of 7.69 meters. Another Serbian long jumper, Aleksandar Micic, also competed in the event, finishing in seventh place with a jump of 7.43 meters.

Success was not limited to the long jump pit. Serbia’s national record holder in the 60m hurdles, Anja Lukic, used this competition to officially kick off her outdoor season. She secured a second-place finish in the 100m hurdles, clocking an impressive time of 13.42 seconds. This performance suggests she is well-prepared for the upcoming international calendar.
