With his outstanding performance at the European Taekwondo Qualifications for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, which took place in Sofia on May 06-08, 2021, Nedžad Husić achieved the Olympic norm and became the fifth member of the BIH team and a passenger to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. With his placement, he joined already qualified athletes, Amel Tuka, Larisa Cerić, Mesud Pezer and Lana Pudar.

On that occasion, the reception and signing of the Olympic Scholarship Agreement with Nedžad Husić was organized in the Olympic Committee of BiH. Although a non-budget user who is exclusively financed through projects and sponsors, the Olympic Committee of BiH will provide scholarships to Nedžad with 800 BAM per month until the beginning of the Olympic Games "Tokyo 2020". Also, for the needs of the final preparations, the Olympic Committee of BiH supported Nedžad Husić with an additional 5.000 BAM.

As the public is aware, Nedzad's potential was recognized by the BiH Olympic Committee, and at the "Athlete of the Year 2018" in the organization of the BiH Olympic Committee, he was awarded the prize "Best Young Athlete in the Junior Category" for winning 3rd place at the World Junior Championships. Support to Nedzad continued through the "Road to Tokyo" Project in the amount of 5.500 BAM. He and his coach were also awarded 7.000 BAM for winning a silver medal at the recent European Taekwondo Championships in Sofia.

"The very fact that Nedzad was admitted to the Olympic Committee twice within 15 days due to his top results, speaks of a young man and a quality athlete who, with his work and perseverance, ensured his entry into the club of the best, the Olympic team. We want Nedžad to keep this continuity of victories and high placements and transfer it to the Olympic Games in Tokyo and the next Olympic Games in Paris in 2024 ", said the President of the NOC BiH, Marijan Kvesić.

Nedžad Husić said: "Impressions are positive, for the first time someone from my sport in BIH qualified for the Olympic Games. I have always wanted to be a part of the Olympic Team, to perform and fight for Bosnia and Herzegovina with the best fighters and athletes of the country. I think it is possible to win a medal and I will do my best to win the first Olympic medal for Bosnia and Herzegovina. "

"The moment when Nedžad qualified was special, I know how much he gave up and how important that is. We will continue to work according to our standard system with certain additions. We will do all the final preparations in Bosnia and Herzegovina and try to make our dream come true, and that is the Olympic medal," said coach Haris Husić.
