IVA Mažar – a Global Athletics Force from Kutina

In 2025, Iva Mažar achieved one of the most successful athletic seasons in the history of Kutina and Croatian athletics. She won 10 gold and one silver medal at national indoor and outdoor championships, competing in events ranging from 600 m to 3000 m, including hurdles and relays, while also breaking Croatian national records six times across different age categories.

Although still a junior athlete, Iva competed on equal terms with seniors from 18 countries, winning the International Agram Meeting (2000 m) and placing 4th at the elite WACT Challenge Meeting. On the Croatian senior rankings, she holds 1st place in the 2000 m and 2000 m steeplechase, and ranks among the top five in the country in the 800 m, 1000 m, and 1500 m.

She is currently ranked at the very top of both European and World rankings, holding multiple 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Her exceptional talent has been recognized by the Croatian Olympic Committee, supported by her club, family, and coach Ivan Desić. For all these achievements, Iva Mažar stands out as the most prominent sporting ambassador of the city of Kutina ❤️

We are proud to be sponsors of such a talented athlete as Iva.
