Blanka Vlasic 195

BLANKA VLASIC - WORLD CHAMPION When she knew she had won, Blanka Vlasic decided there was still a treat or two in store for the crowd. She would attempt to break the High Jump world record, but first cam a little dance from the first World champion from Croatia. She stood by the side of the mat and she jigged one way, and then the other. The spectators celebrated – and she waved and danced away more. “I wanted to win this gold medal so much,” said Vlasic, 23, from Split. “Now I am in a state of shock.” blanka vlasic croatia hrvatska toma bebic sport atletika dalmacija zagora split vinovo athletics primoz kozmus japan slovenija donje athletics high jump drnis slesarenko csi
