Ivan Dinic, one of the best and most well-known coaches in the Decathlon world, is responsible for Aleksandar’s training. The Serbian Champion and his 37-year-old coach will arrive at Naxos on the 30th May. He wants to prepare for the meeting a little earlier as he seems determined to break his personal record. My target is to start this year’s competition period with a high-standard Meeting, like ”Portarathlon”, which will lead me to a new personal best record!”, he stated in view of his participation.
