Nineteen-year-old Luka Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 shone at the Serbian Cup in Kraljevo, where he won the gold medal in the long jump with an impressive result of 8.14 meters.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the young athlete, this is the best result of his career, but also an achievement that ranked him among the biggest names in domestic athletics. Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 is now the third best Serbian long jumper of all time, and ahead of him are only Nenad Steki\u0107 and Lazar Ani\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How significant his success is is also shown by the fact that in the last 47 years only one Serbian athlete managed to jump over the limit of 8.05 meters. Lazar Ani\u0107 succeeded in doing that in 2017, when he jumped 8.15 meters. Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 has now come within just one centimeter of that result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His coach Dragutin Topi\u0107 did not hide his pride after the great success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Incredible Luka Bo\u0161kovi\u0107, 8.14 meters! Third of all time in Serbia, well done son,&#8221; Topi\u0107 said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The absolute record of Serbia in this discipline is still held by the legendary Nenad Steki\u0107, who back in 1975 jumped as much as 8.45 meters, a result that is still considered one of the greatest achievements of Serbian athletics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special weight is given to Bo\u0161kovi\u0107&#8217;s success by the fact that he trains with Dragutin Topi\u0107, one of the best Serbian athletes of all time and the man who participated in the development of the European vice-champion Angelina Topi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jump of 8.14 meters showed that Serbia has another extremely talented athlete, and many believe that this is just the beginning of a career during which Luka Bo\u0161kovi\u0107 could push the boundaries on the international stage as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/srpkinja-poginula-na-prokletijama-spasioci-krenuli-helikopterom-po-nju-a-onda-se-dogodilo-neocekivano\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIAN WOMAN DIED ON PROKLETIJE: Rescuers started by helicopter for her, and then the unexpected happened!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/serbia-left-without-the-final-of-the-world-cup-in-33-basketball-eagles-fell-after-overtime-against-latvia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SERBIA LEFT WITHOUT THE FINAL OF THE WORLD CUP IN 3\u00d73 BASKETBALL: Eagles fell after overtime against Latvia!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/mp-raised-his-voice-the-patriarch-and-the-soc-to-urgently-speak-out-regarding-the-story-that-the-vucics-gave-a-million-euros-for-the-arrival-of-the-belt-of-the-mother-of-god-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">MP RAISED HIS VOICE: \u201cThe patriarch and the SOC to urgently speak out regarding the story that the Vu\u010di\u0107s gave a million euros for the arrival of the Belt of the Mother of God\u201d (VIDEO)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/european-commission-concerned-about-the-number-of-russians-in-serbia-russians-with-serbian-citizenship-a-security-risk-for-the-eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">EUROPEAN COMMISSION CONCERNED ABOUT THE NUMBER OF RUSSIANS IN SERBIA: Russians with Serbian citizenship a security risk for the EU?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/i-expect-the-arrival-of-putin-in-banja-luka-dodik-on-the-agreement-with-the-russian-president\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">I EXPECT THE ARRIVAL OF PUTIN IN BANJA LUKA: Dodik on the agreement with the Russian president!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/tears-of-joy-in-the-nis-maternity-hospital-mother-andela-28-gave-birth-to-triplets-conceived-naturally\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">TEARS OF JOY IN THE NI\u0160 MATERNITY HOSPITAL: Mother An\u0111ela (28) gave birth to triplets conceived naturally!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kurir.rs\/sport\/ostali-sportovi\/10016174\/luka-boskovic-treci-na-vecnoj-listi-srbije-u-skoku-udalj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Kurir<\/a> <strong>Photo:<\/strong>Instagram @dragutintopic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Serbian athletics has a new name that it will have to count on seriously in the future.
