Silver shines like gold

Belgrade, July 31 (Tanjug) - Over 10,000 citizens gathered in front of Belgrade Town Hall late on Monday to welcome the Yugoslav waterpolo team who won the silver medal at the world championship in the Japanese town of Fukuoka.

Last year, when Yugoslav waterpolo players won the gold medal at the championship in Budapest, Belgrade citizens had also made a magnificent welcome.

The national team coach Nenad Manojlovic thanked his fellow citizens for their hearty welcome and said he believed that the Yugoslav team would continue to win medals at future championships.

Belgrade citizens also welcomed the Yugoslav younger seniors rowing team, which had won two gold and one bronze medal at the world junior championship in Linz.
