Hrvatski olimpijski odbor – Naslovna (hoo.hr)

Zagreb, Croatia March 29, 2022 – Very well-known Croatian Olympian Snježana Pejčić (39) has been hired as the head of the newly established Career Centre for Athletes, which will work at the Croatian Olympic Committee. She is the first Olympic medallist (bronze) for Croatia at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, as well as the first Olympic medallist in archery in individual competition for women. After the Tokyo Olympics, she decided to end her active sports career and turn a new page in her life with an academic degree. Since 2019, she has been working in a dual career: as a DC ambassador in the Sinergy project for sports culture, Olympic values and dual careers in sport and as a member of the Commission for Dual Careers in Sport and Athletes Commission in the Croatian Olympic Committee. As an athlete and student, ambassador and member of the Commissions, she has a lot of experience in helping active, former and future athletes who need assistance with dual careers. She said she “hopes to be as successful in this position as she was in her sports career.”

During the last year, EAS supported the President of the Croatian Commission for Dual Careers in Sport, Prof. Romana Caput-Jogunica, in her efforts to finalize the whole process related to the Centre.
