PHOTO: Zrncic Dim: I Can not Describe It

Natko Zrncic Dim is thrilled with his first podium, and what touched him the most was seeing Ivica waiting at the finish line.

Natko Zrncic Dim achieved the result of his career in Val D’Isere, France. There in the super combination he gained the third place behind Bode Miller and Ivica Kostelic.

- I feel great, I can not describe how I felt when I passed the finish line and saw I was second. Ivica was waiting for me and rushed towards me to give me a hug. It really meant a lot to me – Natko told us at the beginning of the interview.

We wanted to know if he thought he could stand on the podium eventually.

- I was not aware of my result, and when Ivica hugged me, he told me we would on the podium for sure. And it was actually true. I went down very smoothly, I risked some moments, like in the slalom. That was my plan to achieve.

Natko doubts he will gain a good position at the Snow Queen Trophy in Zagreb because he still has problems in his start, but this victory will surely do him good.
