Evald Krnić is the winner of the event "Dive from the Vezir Bridge", a spectacle that returned to Podgorica after a 15-year break.

12 jumpers participated in the event, fewer than originally registered - competitors from Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo participated.

This year, the jumps were not performed from a wooden house, but directly from the Vezir Bridge and from a height of 23 meters.

In addition to Evald Krnić, Dino Bajrić, Rade Šćepanović, Vedad Basic, Elvir Kovačević also participated...

Krnić and Dragan Milunović shared first place after the first series (they each had 28,5 points), and eight divers advanced to the final.

Krnić and Milunović received all ten points from the jury in the final, and in the end the guy from Tuzi was the one who rejoiced.

Third was Dino Bajrić (BiH) who received 29,5 points in the final.

The other Montenegrin representative, Rade Šćepanović, was in fourth place.

"I wasn't even aware that I was among the top three competitors. I wasn't fully prepared, but the audience lifted me up when I appeared on the platform. The will and desire came together, and I performed two top-notch jumps," Krnić told RTCG.

Krnić has been one of the best jumpers in the region for years.

"I am delighted with both the atmosphere and the organization, everything went smoothly. I had commitments until the last minute, but I managed to participate," said Krnić, who was the best in Mostar at the "Jump from the Old Bridge" event three times.
