He congratulated the student athletes on their numerous medals, emphasizing the importance of sports as a complement to academic obligations, but stated that their education should come first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The President praised the honoured athletes for their effort and discipline, emphasizing that sport and education are two complementary spheres that, when successfully balanced, can foster personal growth and development. Speaking about the values that sport instils, President Milanovi\u0107 noted that they do not arise exclusively from sports activities but are shaped by earlier life experiences: \u201cI agree that sport is an incredible thing. Does sport itself create and determine one\u2019s attitude toward work and habits? Both yes and no. I think these values and this outlook on life are developed earlier, in the parental home, in the broader social environment, and in school from the first grade.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKeep training, take care of your health, don\u2019t overdo it, and remember, your studies should still come first,\u201d said President Milanovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Faculty of Economics and Business was declared the overall champion of the university sports championships, securing second place in the women\u2019s category and first place in the men\u2019s category. The Faculty of Kinesiology received the award for first place in the women\u2019s category and third place in the men\u2019s. The women\u2019s team from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER) won third place, while the men\u2019s team secured second place. FER was also recognized as the most active higher education institution in the last academic year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Special awards were presented to the university teams in futsal, kickboxing, taekwondo, table tennis, volleyball, basketball, beach handball, and rowing for their international achievements. The University of Zagreb table tennis team was recognized as the best women\u2019s team, while the futsal team was named the best men\u2019s team. The women\u2019s table tennis team claimed the European title at the European University Games in Hungary, and the futsal team secured the gold medal at the World University Championships in China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best male athlete at the University of Zagreb in the last academic year was Borna Pe\u010dko, a taekwondo athlete and student at the Faculty of Kinesiology, while the best female athlete was Andrea Pavlovi\u0107, a table tennis athlete and student at the Faculty of Food Technology and Biotechnology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ceremony featured speeches from several distinguished guests, including Jasenka Ostoji\u0107, Vice-rector for Art, Culture and Inter-university Cooperation at the University of Zagreb; Davor Pavlovi\u0107, Head of the Sports Office at the University of Zagreb and President of the Zagreb Academic Sports Association; Kristina Singer, delegate of the City of Zagreb and Deputy Head of the City Office for Education, Sports, and Youth; and Kre\u0161imir \u0160amija, delegate of the Prime Minister and Director of the Sports Directorate at the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
