Angelina Topić had an incredible 2025 and because of that, she was awarded by the Athletics Federation of Serbia as the best senior female athlete in the country.
The young Serbian athlete recorded phenomenal results in the previous year. In Tokyo, she won a bronze medal at the World Championships in the high jump discipline, and she also won a silver medal at the European Indoor Championships, as well as a gold medal at the European U23 Championships.
Upon receiving the award, Topić summarized the previous year:
-It is truly a wonderful feeling, I am very proud of all the successes from last year, and from the European Championship, I am truly very proud, there is no better indicator that I am on the right path.
The biggest lesson she learned is:
-I think the biggest lesson I learned is that in some moments when I thought it was the end of the world, it wasn’t, that in sports there are both beautiful and difficult moments, all of that is part of the sport. Everything has such a long journey behind every success, people don’t have to know all of that, but I’m glad what an indicator that is to me that everything is possible and that everything can be achieved if I want it enough, if I believe enough.
This could be the year in which Angelina will chase a jump over two meters:
-I hope it is. I learned a big lesson the year before last when I thought that was the year, but there it is, not everything can be influenced. That’s life. That injury in Paris caught me so unprepared and that is the moment I was talking about, that it was the end of the world and the end of my career. I’m glad that I managed to get back to the level of even training last year, to competing, I had to learn to run from the beginning, to train, to do everything from scratch. I’m glad that I climbed that first step then, here I am now on the tenth, and I hope we will reach the 100th step.
A continuation of medals?
-I hope I can. This is the first year where I won’t have any youth competitions, no junior championships, so here it is, I’ve grown up. The first thing waiting for me is the World Indoor Championships in March, after that the European Championships outdoors. There I will give my best to continue the streak of medals.
