Biography
He grew up in a sports family, began to actively engage in rowing at the age of nine. He first made himself known at the national level in the 1997 season, winning the national championship in doubles at two hundred meters in the age category under 18 years. The following year he got a family, he had twin sons, and because of the difficult financial situation, he was forced to work full-time as a tanker at a station in Šabac . In 2000, he left rowing, as he could no longer combine work and professional sports, but in 2003 he returned and again started serious training.
As part of the Zorka rowing club, in 2004, at the Serbian Championship, he became fourth in singles at two hundred meters. The next season, he took second place in a single two hundred meter discipline and first place among four-seater crews at five hundred meters - at that moment attracted the attention of coaches of the national team.
Thanks to a series of successful performances, in 2006, Dzhenadić entered the main squad of the Serbian national team and visited the European Championship in Czech Rachitsa, where, however, he took only eleventh place alone on two hundred meters. Later he joined the four-seater crew, which also included rowers Ognen Filipovic , Dragan Zoric and Bora Sibinkic , and was awarded the right to defend the country's honor at the World Championships in Szeged, Hungary - at a distance of 200 meters their four overtook all rivals, and thus the Serbian crew won.
In 2007, Milan Dzhenadich with the same composition in the same discipline won the European Championships in the Spanish Pontevedra and won the silver medal at the world championship in Duisburg, Germany, losing only to the titled crew from Hungary at the finish line. In 2008, he added to the track record the silver dignity award received at the European Championship in Milan, again in the classification of four-seater kayaks at a distance of 200 meters - only the crew from Belarus passed them in the final. He tried to qualify for the Beijing Summer Olympics , but could not do this, since his main discipline K-4,200 m was not part of the Olympic program, and in other disciplines there was too much competition [2] [3] .
