It turned out that at EYOF the great athletes of tomorrow are spotted. The Olympic medalists Sandra Perković and Duje Draganja, many Olympians and athletes which, as seniors, achieved great results at the European and World championships, gained Zlatko Mateša their first experiences in multi-sports events exactly at EYOF. Croatian Olympic Committee President The achievements of young Croatian athletes at EYOF, where they compete in a very tough competition of their European peers, are the confirmation to the Croatian Olympic Committee that it is – in terms of its development programs for athletes - on the right track. I believe that, besides the sports competitions, our male and female athletes will not forget - at all times - to promote the Olympic spirit, friendship, fair play and tolerance, and that they will present themselves and Croatian sports with dignity. On behalf of the Croatian Olympic Committee and myself, I wish you all a lot of sports success and personal satisfaction.
