Mother Maria’s heart is finally in place.
– It was terrible, it’s hard to experience it from the stands. Never ending, but we believed in victory. At the end, tears also flowed – said Mrs. Mužinać.
– Angela never gives up, she’s strong, she’s brave, she’s like a tigress, she bites, she doesn’t let go – added mom.
Her husband Kristijan Vincetić, a former paraswimmerč, was also in the stands.
– We are all proud and happy, above all because of her. We all came to Paris so that she would know that we were with her. This is the crown of her many years of work. She trains a lot all the time, but this year she subordinated everything to Paris – said the former Paralympian.
– From the round of 16 until today, there was hair loss and stress. It was much harder to watch Angela than to compete – he added with a smile.
Baki Milletćpresident of the Parasports Association of the city of Split, also cheered Anđela on the stands.
– The feeling is wonderful, as if we were writing a fairy tale – said Baki.
– If someone directed meč he wouldn’t have succeeded like that, five sets, real drama. I am also proud that both medals in Paris were won by athletes from Split, Anđela živi lives in Zagreb, but is from Srinjan, as if it is our medal – he said.
