Support ahead of the Olympics: Street race in the street where Tuka won his first prize

Residents of Kakanj are organizing a street race on August 2 in support of their fellow citizen Amel Tuka, one of the best athletes of today, who will represent Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Olympic Games from August 5 to 21 in Rio de Janeiro.

Tuka was born in Kakanj. He has not forgotten his hometown even at the height of his worldwide fame. The people of Kakanj have not forgotten that. They are proud of the cheerful and modest athlete. The race they are organizing in his honor three days before the Olympics will be held on the main city street, Alija Izetbegović, where Tuka achieved his first victory, writes Patria.
