“We fought, we won a silver medal, although we secretly hoped for gold when we entered the finals. I have not forgotten and will never forget the third set, when I asked my colleagues to take a lead, but we have not found the strength and unfortunately we were defeated. However, new victories are before us and we’re going to prepare for them,” said Safet Alibasic.
