Just when you think you’ve seen it all, Split surprises us again! On Marjan Hill, one of the city’s most beautiful spots, a tree fell — right on Bojan Marinović, the former coach of famous Croatian athlete Blanka Vlašić. But wait, the drama doesn’t stop there! At the last moment, MMA coach Ante Bonačić, who was training an eight-year-old boy, jumped like a superhero and threw himself under the tree to save Marinović. The result? Bonačić suffered minor injuries, while Marinović escaped with just a few scratches. The boy was thankfully fine.
This incident isn’t just another nature accident story. It’s a tale of bravery, quick thinking, and true sports spirit. Ante Bonačić, who trains MMA fighter Alistair Overeem, didn’t hesitate for a second. He saw the tree falling and threw himself to protect others. Could this be Split’s new sports hero? Maybe!
But let’s be real — how safe is it to walk or train on Marjan? If trees can fall and hurt people, isn’t it time for a serious check and maintenance? Nobody wants to be in the same situation next time, right?
And while everyone wonders how the tree fell, one thing is clear — this event will be talked about for a long time. So, what do you think? Does Ante Bonačić deserve a medal for bravery, or is this just another day in the life of a sports coach?
