Novak Djokovic celebrated his gold medal victory at the Paris 2024 Olympics in his native Serbia with the rest of the Serbian Olympic team, as huge crowds of Serbians received their athletes with a warm welcome Monday evening.
Thousands of onlookers congregated in the capital at Belgrade City Hall to celebrate the efforts of Djokovic and the rest of the Serbian Olympic team, following an Olympic campaign where Serbia accrued five medals overall, including three gold medals.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic was present to warmly greet Djokovic and the rest of the Serbian athletes.
“I have had the honour and pleasure of being on this special [City Hall] balcony several times in my career, but each time you surprise and inspire me more and more,” Djokovic told the crowd.
“This is the most beautiful feeling that an athlete from Serbia can experience.”
Djokovic was joined on the Belgrade City Hall balcony by the rest of the Serbian Olympic team, which included basketball star, Nikola Jokic, a staple figure in the national team as they secured the bronze medal with victory over Germany.
He then exacted his revenge on the French clay courts, capping his professional career with an Olympic gold medal.
What lies ahead for Nole? What are his hopes and motivations from now on? Are his goals realistic?
