Tuka after returning from Africa: My primary goal this season is the Olympic Games

Bosnia and Herzegovina's best athlete, Amel Tuka, has returned from Africa after preparations for the Olympics, which will be held in the summer of 2016, reports the Patria news agency.

Tuka expressed satisfaction with the entire training, but is especially happy with his coach's satisfaction. As he says, the training lasted a month without breaks, and he trained twice a day. Now a little relaxation follows with only one training session per day, and one indoor race is planned.

Despite all other obligations and planned races, Tuka still has his primary goal in sight, and that is the Olympic Games:

- The focus will be mostly on the Olympic Games, although I will also compete at the European Championships in Amsterdam and in the Diamond League. My primary goal in the Diamond League will not be victory, but only preparation for the Olympic Games – says Tuka.

Tuka remains realistic and emphasizes that it is still too early to hope for any result.

- It is too early to already hope and expect a result; there is still a lot to be done. I pray to God to give me health and that there are no injuries, that is the most important thing for me for now, I don't worry about everything else. Everything is ahead of us, we have the whole season - Amel stated for Patria.

We remind you, Amel Tuka was chosen as the best senior athlete of Zenica for 2015. Amel will run in Stockholm on February 17 at an indoor meeting, and after that in Istanbul at the Balkan Indoor Championships.
