Don't ask me how but i didn't know this. She was so close to her dream olympic medal, twice in fact. From what i remember it seemed like she lacked a bit of self - confidence. She died way to early...🥺

Montenegro's (and Milwall's) football goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has suddenly died this morning. Played an excellent match against Belgium not two weeks ago.

Where are they getting that he was going to compete in the Paris Olympics?

Always happens with exotic countries. At least they didn't write that he was a medal favorite.
