Croatian Duje Draganja to swim for QatarOvo sam pre par dana samo ?uo, a nisam znao da li je provereno. Nego, pao mi je na pamet i ?uveni "slu?aj Jani?". Setimo se Nataše Jani?, koja je otišla u Maðarsku i postala dvostruki olimpijski i svetski šampion. Da li ?e takvih slu?ajeva i kod nas nastaviti da bude, vide?emo. Za po?etak, ministar Dinki? je rekao kako je planirano da u slede?oj budžetskoj godini bude predviðeno dvostruko više novca za sport nego ove godine. Neupu?en sam u to, i ne znam da li bi taj novac koristio u ovakvim slu?ajevima... Jelena Doki? takoðe od slede?e godine igra pod Australijskom zastavom. Jeste da je nazadovala u poslednje vreme, ali jeste talenat i još uvek ima velikog potencijala da se uspe u vrh ženskog tenisa. Moje je mišljenje (a verovatno i mnogih drugih ovde) da ono što imamo treba ?uvati kao malo vode na dlanu.
ZAGREB (Croatia): Croatian swimmer Duje Draganja, an Olympic silver medalist, will swim for Qatar next year.
The 24-year-old, who won silver for Croatia in the 50-meter freestyle at last year's Olympics, accepted the offer after his homeland failed to beat a lucrative offer by the Arab country. "I have accepted Qatar's offer and from next year, they will be my sponsors," Draganja wrote in an e-mailed statement Thursday from Berkley, California, where he studies and trains. "Reaching the sports goals I desire require big funds. Attempts to find sponsors in Croatia have failed."
He said he acquired Qatar passport in August, but had still hoped to get financial support from Croatia. "My hopes, once again, have dashed," he said. Draganja did not disclose the value of the offer, but local media has said Qatar offered him at least $1 million, plus bonuses for world championship or Olympic Games medals. Draganja's decision has been expected for weeks since Croatian officials had said they could not match that offer. Draganja, who also broke the US open record in the 100-yard freestyle final this year, is expected to swim for Qatar at April's short course world championships in Shanghai.
