VIDEO Tuka's first media statement: This is the realization of a big dream for me and my country!

- I feel great and this is the realization of a big dream for me. This is the first medal for my country and for me, I am very proud, said our best athlete of all time Amel Tuka in his statement to the media immediately after the 800-meter race in which he won bronze.

- Thank you to all the people in BiH. I am very proud, happy for my compatriots. I know they are celebrating now. I repeat, I feel great.

Thanks also to all the people in China, and for the excellent organization. Maybe I should have run the first 300 meters better, but I slowed down a bit and picked up speed in the last 200 meters.

Maybe it would have been better if I had maintained the pace throughout the race, but that's not a problem for me, and I am more than satisfied with this medal. This is my first medal and I will see with the coach if I will celebrate tonight, said Tuka to numerous press teams.
