21ST TABLE TENNIS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
Dear friends of the Stens Euro-Asfalt Sarajevo Table Tennis Club,
The 21st BiH Table Tennis State Championship was held on the 1st and 2nd of March, 2014 in Sarajevo. The winner in the category of men’s singles is Admir Duranspahić, and in the women’s singles category Emina Hadžiahmetović.
Member of our club, Dragana Iveljić-Kerkez, finished at the third place. We are very pleased with this result, and with the fact that three of our members rank among the top eight players in the country. This proves that, although we are a young club, we are doing a good job and achieving good results in all categories. This will pave the way for even more progress and even better results in upcoming state and international competitions. The event was very well organised, and the competition was the best one so far, with the highest number of participants and a great atmosphere throughout the event. All competitors were served sandwiches, doughnuts and croissants, as well as soft drinks. We have raised the bar when it comes to the organisation of top-level regional tournaments.
In the unofficial part of the competition, participants were greeted by the Assistant Head of Novi Grad Sarajevo Municipality for Education and Sports, Elvir Resić, Assistant Minister of Civil Affairs of BiH, Suvad Džafić, while the competition was opened by a member of the FBiH Government, Salmir Kaplan.
Dear friends, athletes, and table tennis fans,
Our next competition is the II TOP 8 BiH for men and women, which will take place on the 8th of March at the sports hall in Ilijaš. After that, we kindly invite you to attend the Sarajevo International Table Tennis Tournament “STENS OPEN 2014”, which is to take place on the 21st and 22nd of June 2014 at the “Ramiz Salčin” sports hall in Mojmilo. We shall make sure to push our organisational skills even further. We also wish to express gratitude to our sponsors, Euro-Asfalt, BH Telecom, Sarajevo Tobacco Factory, Perutnina Ptuj and Aspek. Without them, we would not have been able to achieve such level of quality, and restore the glory that table tennis used to have.
Best regards,
STENS – EURO-ASFALT President,
Zilhad Forić
