Journal Title: Sport Mont - Year 2005, Vol 0, Issue 6
Abstract
The idea of renewal of Antique Olympic games was accepted by many humanists and other people who realized importance of physical exercise and sport competition .When social and economic conditions were made, those games were organized in Athens in 1896. The king Alexander Obrenovic attended the games as an eminent visitor of the Greek king DJordje and a versatile sportsman MomciloTapavica, who was born near Novi Sad and originated from Montenegro, participated in the games. The young player went to the Olympic games on his own expense and he was competing for the Hungarian representation. On that occasion, he won a bronze medal in tennis, but if he hadn’t been hurt in training he would have probably won more medals since he competed in several other sports. His enthusiasm and sport success were stimulus for establishment of many olympic sports clubs within short period of time, and they could be a base for an Olympic committee in Montenegro, where he used to work as a civil engineer . Since then, tennis has become more popular and he was its best promoter.
