THE ATHLETE

A life measured
in seconds.

I’m a Serbian kayak sprint athlete competing at the highest level of international sport.

I started paddling at twelve and joined Serbia’s national team at fifteen. Since then, I’ve progressed from junior and U23 racing to the senior international stage, becoming World and European U23 champion and reaching the finals of major senior K1 competitions. In 2021, I represented Serbia at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, one of the defining milestones of my career.

My focus now is on taking the next step at senior level and challenging for medals at the biggest international competitions. I’m working to become faster, stronger, and more consistent in the K1 500m and 1000m, with the ambition of competing among the best in the world.

THE MINDSET

“Small margins.
Relentless work.
One more stroke.”
THE PURSUIT NEVER STOPS.
THE TEAM BEHIND THE WORK

Better together.
