Member of the City Council for Sports and Youth, Tatjana Medved, opened the school-sports competition in athletics “From School Bench to Athletic Track”, organized by the Athletic Club “Borac” from Klisa with the support of the City of Novi Sad.
Athletics is one of the fundamental sports that, along with swimming, plays a key role in the overall development of children. Such events are not only sporting events, but also an opportunity to motivate the youngest to engage in physical activity, develop discipline and build self-confidence. The city is constantly working to improve school sports and promote athletics, which has certainly contributed to winning the title of “European City of Sport 2026.” This year, 18,750.00 dinars have been allocated from the budget for athletics as a branch of sports, and the City will continue to support in the coming period,” said Tatjana Medved.
The competition was attended by children of preschool and school age from all parts of the city, with a large representation of children from Klisa, Slana Bara and Vidovdan settlement. The competition took place in disciplines from 100 to 800 meters, in different age categories. The winners won gold, silver and bronze medals, while the competitors up to seventh place were awarded diplomas.
