As expected - the rain forced the lying down contestants to get up earlier than they intended, and the title of the biggest lazy person in Montenegro went to Dubravka Aksić from Podgorica, who got up after 117 hours of lying down. Nikola Bošković from Nikšić got up five minutes before her, and his fellow citizen Marko Vučković two hours earlier.

"It was really hard, especially from three o'clock last night when it started raining heavily. It was cold, although we covered ourselves with extra blankets and mats. Otherwise, we were bored and it became hard for us to lie down, but we called on the rain to verdict, as it happened. If it hadn't been raining, we would have stayed," Dubravka told "Vijesti" after she won.

She is returning to Podgorica, as she promised her colleagues, with a prize of 350 euros, because the organizers of the competition, the Blagojević brothers, decided to add another 300 to the original sum of 50 euros.

"I will not use the money for any useful purposes, but I will spend it with the company and buy something for myself to remind me of this competition", admitted Duda and added that she would never sign up for the competition again because she realized that it is not easy to lie down at all, but and that now he will lie down less.

Nikola and Marko revealed the secret that much earlier they had proposed to Duda that they all get up together and share the prize, but that the persistent woman from Podgorica decided to hold out until the end and be the only winner of the unique competition in Europe, which is in the ethnic village of "Montenegro", in Brezni, in Piva, held for the tenth time.

The vice-champion, Nikola Bošković, said that he still claims that men can lie down longer than women, but that he wanted to preserve his health and be a gentleman.

"When you're lying in a puddle, all over you wet, it's better to save your health and be a gentleman and let the woman win. Already after the first day, when I proposed that the three of us share the prize, Duda said that she was determined to go all the way, until victory," Nikola said.

Although he and the other two contestants only have words of praise for the owners and staff of the "Montenegro" ethnic village, he admits that he would no longer compete, but that he will now skip the bed more often and be more active.

And Marko confirmed that the rain decided to stop.

"Everything started to get wet - blankets, clothes, and I realized that there was no point in continuing because health is more important than the competition. I would have liked, of course, to have won, but kudos to Duda for her persistence and female stubbornness. I would have liked maybe that there was a little more collegiality so that we got up before the rain and shared the prize, but that's how it is," said Marko and added that he will no longer compete. "I thought this would take a few days. I had free time, I like adventures and to try something new, but it just took too long. We probably would have continued lying down if it hadn't rained," said Marko.

One of the hosts of the competition, Radonja Blagojević, pointed out that despite the novelty in this year's competition that contestants can go to the toilet every eight hours, he did not expect that most of them would stay in bed for six days.

"All the best to them. I would rather dig for 120 hours than lie down," Radonja said with a smile.

As a consolation prize, Nikola and Marko received a weekend in an ethnic village which, when they arrive, they will be able to get to know better, but also to visit the maple tree under whose canopy they lay for six days.
