“For me, this night is really important, especially because I got a prize as the most successful athlete student in 2015,” Amina Adilovic, 21, told Anadolu Agency.

Adilovic is the only veiled girl in the senior karate national team of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH).

Speaking to Anadolu Agency, she said that she has been aspiring for the title, though she did not expect it.

“When I started I had a feeling that I’m not so talented for that, but I was persistent and I really trained hard as a little girl who wanted to be better,” Adilovic, who started training 13 years ago, said.

“My efforts and hard work led me to be the national champion in BiH in the child’s competitions,” she said.

“Ever since, I became BiH’s national champion.”

After long years of practicing the game, she achieved the third place in the Mediterranean Championship in Italy in 2011, which is the first such medal ever for BiH.

Gold set of medals continued years later.

“The year 2015 for me has been really very successful, I would single out the results of the seventh European University Championships where I won third place in individual kata and first place with club colleagues in the fighting team.

“We had a great competition then. These medals were indeed great result.”
