ZLATAN IBRAHIMBEGOVIĆ
MAESTRO OSTAJE MAESTRO
Banjalučanin Zlatan Ibrahimbegović, nekad poznati kajakaš na 'divljim' vodama i olimpijski učesnik, i dan danas je, u izbjeglištvu, uspješan sportista, ovaj put kao stručnjak, pedagog. Zlaja je postao selektor kajakaške (disciplina: slalom) reprezentacije The New South Wales u Australiji.
Profesor Ibrahimbegović je nakon progona iz svoje rodne Banja Luke svoje prisilno putešestvije završio u dalekoj Australiji. Vrlo brzo se nekadašnji, višestruki, šampion u kajaku na 'divljim vodama' i uspješan olimpijski učesnik adaptirao na novu sredinu, na svoju 'novu' domovinu i započeo bavljenje onim u čemu je oduvijek i bio najbolji - sportom, tačnije svojim kajakom. Znanje, iskustvo i pedagosko obrazovanje ubrzo je donijelo rezultate i naš Zlatan Ibrahimbegović je postao ugledno ime među australijskim kajakaškim stručnjacima. Priznanje za njegov rad i znanje 'stiglo' je u vidu imenovanja za selektora slalom-kajakaške reprezentacije "The New South Wales" !
S obzirom na popularnost i svjetsku uspješnost, australijskog kajakaškog sporta ovaj uspjeh Banjalučanina Ibrahimbegovića još više dobija na svojoj specifičnoj težini. Nije mala stvar, dapače, postati selektor u jednoj tako velikoj zemlji, sportski poznatoj, i to još kao 'stranac' !
Zaista velik uspjeh našeg Zlaje i upućujemo mu čestiteke sa željama da još dugo i uspješno radi u sportu koji najviše voli, i najbolje poznaje.
