Montenegro can be proud of Marija Vuković - ninth place at the Olympic Games in the high jump is a phenomenal result.

Our best female athlete finished the Olympic Games jumping 196 centimeters.

"Great competition, great experience, meeting here with the best... As we said - it is impossible to get a medal with a jump below two meters. I'm sorry that I "lost myself" at a height of 198 centimeters, but I felt like lioness won at 196. It's hard for me, but I'm grateful that I was there, that I jumped with the best and that I was in the final at the first Olympic Games," said Marija Vuković.

Therefore, he has something to regret...
