Dragan Ristić and the Serbian team add two more golds

Dragan Ristić continued Serbia’s success by winning the R5 mixed 10m air rifle prone SH2 event, securing another Paralympic qualification quota for the country.

Serbia also claimed team gold in R5, with Ristić, Zdravko Savanović and Dejan Jokić recording a combined 1,909.0 points. The team was led by national team head coach Vladimir Pajić. Together with Trifunović’s victory, these achievements brought Serbia’s gold medal tally in Changwon to three. Report on the individual and team victories.

Competing at a World Championships demands years of training, technical excellence and the ability to perform under intense pressure. Reaching this level is an achievement in itself; winning gold against the world’s best is an exceptional sporting accomplishment.

Parasport Foundation warmly congratulates Kristina, Dragan, Zdravko, Dejan and the coaching team. We are proud to support the Paralympic Committee of Serbia and to help create opportunities for athletes to pursue their ambitions on the international stage.

We continue to follow Serbian athletes’ performances closely and wish them every success in the competitions ahead and on the road to Los Angeles 2028.
