Judo Club Partizan has achieved exceptional success at the European Championships by winning two more medals. Bogdan Veličković and Jelena Nišavić, who represented both Partizan and the Serbian national team, won bronze medals in their categories.

Throughout the day, he participated in six demanding matches, achieving five victories and experiencing only one defeat. His unwavering struggle for success paid off when he won the bronze for his country and Judo Club Partizan.
Bogdan’s path to the stand was not easy. In the first match, he faced an extremely strong opponent from Israel, Atlas J, but came out as a winner. He continued his number of victories by defeating Glig D from Romania in the second round. Although he experienced a defeat in the quarterfinal of Tavollet L from Italy, Bogdan showed incredible resistance and fought in repasses matches.

However, she did not be discouraged, but continued to fight in repairs matches, showing their unpopular spirit. She achieved a convincing victory over Van der Maas K from the Netherlands in the first repayage. In the second Repass, it triumphed over Pagliaro M from Italy. Continuing a series of victories, Jelena defeated Noerskov M from Denmark in the third match of Repassage.
