“Although she is only 18 years old, young Banja Luka native Tina Budić already has behind her a sporting journey that many far more experienced athletes could envy. This talented karateka began her sports story 12 years ago, when as a young girl she took her first steps at the Banja Luka ‘Karate Club 16-a’.”
“Perseverance, discipline, and continuous work were crowned on December 26, 2025, when Tina successfully earned her black belt – second dan, which represents one of the most significant achievements in karate. In doing so, she once again confirmed that she is an exceptionally dedicated and promising athlete.”
“During her career so far, Tina has won more than 80 medals at domestic and international competitions, making a major contribution to her club and to the sport she practices.”
“Her results testify to years of devoted work, as well as to great talent recognized on numerous competition floors.”
“In addition to her sporting achievements, Tina is equally committed to education. She is an excellent student in the fourth year of the Banja Luka Medical School, physiotherapy technician program, where she successfully balances school obligations with demanding training sessions and competitions.”
“Tina Budić is yet another example that Republika Srpska has a youth worth investing in, and that through dedication and hard work it is possible to achieve top-level sporting results.”
