Welcome to our great swim friend and the colleague from Australia !!! |
| * First of all,
greetings from Down Under to the biggest swimming enthusiasts and my dear
friends at the Swim Star 2000 SC, and in particular to Mr. Rasula. Thanks
for having me here. It has probably been a while since the last time a
lot of my swimming colleagues and friends have heard from me, but the distance
and the workload do their part. |
|
For last two years, swimming world from Belgrade and the wider region of
the Balkans asked us about you.. Where have you been? |
| * I'm back...
I worked extremely hard and swam almost 2,000 km since July last year,
when I have started seriously training again after a year and a half long
break. In the meantime, the butterfly became my main stroke, even though
I still swim backstroke, although with a new technique which I am waiting
to help me produce better results then before. |
|
Tell us more about practises and competitions ahead of you.. |
| * So, all the
previous hard work has started paying off, even though I've done all my
races while in full training and without any taper. Consequently, my present
coaches have very high expectations going into the last 'big' month and
a half of training and the subsequent Australian Grand Prix II and the
Championships of New South Wales and Australia. |
| Please,
feel free to tell us some of your best results recently.. |

.Moje
prijatelje po 'belom svetu' nazalost sve redje srecem... Ali ih nikad ne
zaboravljam! Posebno ne Matiju Jaukovica, jednog od najvecih plivackih
nada sa 'ovih sirih prostora'. Odavno je zvezda plivackog sporta SR Jugoslavije,
SCG, sada Crne Gore... Sedeci tako u Michigan-u na nekom web sajtu i listajuci
pre mesec dana Crnogorsku sportsku stampu, iznenadio me je clanak (sa jednom
starom CB fotografijom) o sjajnim uspesima na Prvenstvu Novog Juznog Welsa
u Australiji. A znao sam da je Matija pauzirao sa plivanjem skoro vise
od godinu dana. Zato sam ga licno pozvao i neka ovo bude nas skromni doprinos
svim njegovim daljim naporima u ovom vrednom sportu... Siguran sam da ce
SWIM STAR WEB PORTAL biti njegov najveci navijac u Pekingu 2008... Hvala
legendo za ovaj intervju !!!
