Three sisters together go for 3x3 glory

Three sisters together go for 3x3 glory

Some have their favorite numbers and love everything to be related to it, while others think that numbers do not play a role in their lives. For Dijana, Marjana and Kristina Milenkovic, from University of Luzern everything in Coimbra is related to the number three.

-        We play 3x3 basketball for University of Luzern where we study. We are happy to play 3x3 together with all other students and we have to say that the level of the competition is really good, says Kristina Milenkovic

Three sisters are all three years apart, Marjana being the eldest (28), then Kristina (25) while Dijana is the youngest (22).

-        We were playing together in clubs as well as the youth national teams. So far only I played for the Suiss senior basketball team. Because of the age difference we could not play all three, but we are happy everytime when that is possible. For example here in Coimbra, adds Marjana Milenkovic.

There is one more thing related to number three. Youngest sister Dijana won the three point shootout. Special thing is that the shootout was combined, which means that Dijana beat both her men and women collegues.

Before this I played 3x3 basketball only once in Madrid when I was 15. It was mixed competition where my team won the silver medal. You can say that I am used to play in mixed competitions and winning them, Dijana concluded with a smile.
