Whats the situation with sponsors and how do people accept skating in Croatia?
It’s sad that there are no sponsors in skating yet! My coaches are paid by their clubs, and it’s a sad and small amount regarding the results we’ve accomplished so far. But finally there is improvement. I got a new Daewoo Matiz from AUTOWILL to use for a year, all thanks to Antun Haurdi, but sadly nothing yet to be enough for all my needs of living, education, gas, etc… Fortunately the Olympic committee supports me fully this year, and the Zagreb union has so far, and that’s all the money I get, which still isn’t half of an average Croatian wage, and still not enough to make just one year pay off, considering all that my parents invested in me so far. I hope that this year people will recognize the talent in me, just like VISA recognized it, my main sponsor so far. It’s not much money but I hope I’ll make a great advertisement and that some sponsors will recognize me as a good project.
