SARAJEVO, July 15 (Xinhua) -- Bosnia and Herzegovina will send seven athletes to the Tokyo Olympic Games, with the squad presented on Thursday at a meeting of Bosnia's Olympic Committee in Sarajevo.

The country will be represented by middle-distance runner Amel Tuka, judoka Larisa Ceric, shot-putter Mesud Pezer, swimmer Lana Pudar, taekwondo athlete Nedzad Husic, shooter Tatjana Djekanovic and swimmer Emir Muratovic.

In a speech, Tuka said that all the Bosnian athletes had trained very hard to be ready for the Tokyo Games.

"I'm convinced that this is a higher level of competition for which you have to be 100 percent ready in every way if you want to get a medal. That's why I prepared well, I have two more weeks of final training to put everything in order," Tuka said.

The youngest Bosnian Olympian, swimmer Pudar, who won two silvers and a gold medal at the European Junior Championships in Rome last weekend, promised to give her best performance in Tokyo. Enditem
