A European Championship for U18 Women does not attract the type of spectator attention as at the senior level. Here in Bratislava, the crowd usually consist of families and friends of the players as well as the requisite number of coaches looking for the next big prospect.
One of the faithful family members in attendance is Jelena Prcic. Prcic is the mother of not one, but two Serb and Montenegrin international players, her twin daughters Dunja and Iva. |
