Judo In Montenegro

Milorad Vujović occasionally went to Cetinje to coach together with
Nikola Miljević, and in his absence, the training sessions were run by
Drašković. On behalf of everyone, Blagota Radulović-Šuler presented
Vujović with the “gusle” (the Montenegrin fiddle), as a token of gratitude
for the contribution to the development of judo in Cetinje.
The club resumed operation but discontinuously. While he was a
coach at “Titograd”, Marko Trifunović used to come to Cetinje to instruct.
With the arrival of Vuk Tadić to Cetinje, an experienced judo
master from Split (Croatia), the club started its activities again. Vuk
Tadić, Vasilije Mašanović (who was the president of the Judo Union of
Montenegro in 1982-1983), Bećo Muhadinović, Filip Popović, Jovan
Mihaljević, Vojo Knežević, Milovan - Milo Janković and Maja Vicković
(she was the coach of the national team) and many others achieved
outstanding results for the development of this sport in Cetinje, thus
contributing greatly to the development of Montenegrin and Yugoslav
judo. The Judo Club “Lovćen” successfully organised numerous republican
and international competitions, and also hosted the international
“Yugoslav Cup” in Budva in 1981.
The competitors of this club have achieved outstanding results at
the republican and federal level. As early as 1979, Zoran Škuletić and
Dejan Radunović obtained remarkable results at the federal level. Saša
Mašanović became the under 12 vicechampion at the state championship
in Zagreb in 1980. Mladen Milošević won the under 12 championship
title in Bitolj in 1981 and was chosen for the best athlete of
Cetinje. Saša Mašanović was ranked third at the same state championship.
Mladen Milošević and Saša Mašanović won the first place in the
under 12 class at the Zagreb Cup in 1981. Vladimir Roganović and Dejan
Radunović were ranked third at the State Championship for Young
Talents, held in Belgrade in 1981. At the Yugoslav Championship for
Young Talents in 1982, Saša Mašanović won the second place. At the
Junior Championship in Skoplje, Saša Mašanović was ranked second,
whereas Igor Kraljević was first at the state under 12 championship
and Filip Martinović obtained the third place at the Championship for
Young Talents. In 1987, Filip Martinović and Igor Kraljević won the
titles at the Yugoslav Championship for Young Talents in Trebinje, and
Željko Ražnatović and Vaso Stanojević took the second places at the
same competition.
