Having no fear for the rating, the best Serbian swimmer Milorad Cavic said that in fact Nadja Higl marked the year 2009, because she managed to win the gold medal at the World Championships in Rome without right conditions and the support of the state.
- The most important success this year was achieved by Nadja Higl. Since the conditions, and all that she and her brother Sebastian went through, this is a fantastic success. They had no help from the government, nor support, and they achieved a great thing for their country. That's why I say that she marked this year- said Cavic.
Serbian swimmer referred also to the season which he has left behind, and promised that the European Championships in Budapest in the middle of next year he will win at least two gold medals.
- What I did, it meant a lot to me. Somehow, considering the fact that if I am concerned, I would say that the 100 meter butterfly was the largest sports event at the World Championships in Rome. As for the upcoming year, I think that is not too bad if I say that it is possible that I will win two gold medals. Of course, you never know what and how it will, be but these are my expectations, desire and hope.
Milorad Cavic stressed that it takes at least seven months of hard preparations in order to achieve a good result in a big competition.
- I will train at the same level as this year. Simply, it is necessary to prepare seven and a half months for the European Championships. I will return to Italy on January 10, 2010, when I begin serious training for upcoming competitions - Cavic stated.
IN EVERY RESPECT BETTER
Milorad Cavic stressed that 2009 was extremely difficult, and wished that the following year would be much better.
- I just want to myself and, of course, to all much health and happiness. We should support each other. I hope the crisis will not hit Serbia in 2010 as well. However, if we support each other, everything will be OK. I believe that the next year in every respect will be better - says Cavic.
