An excited Dani Tomić dropped into the laundromat today to introduce his 19-year-old daughter Josephine.

Dani is from our hometown, Perth, but several years ago returned to Croatia and setup various enterprises on Brač Island.

His excitement was over his daughter’s victory at the World Track Cycling Championships in Poland this week.

Though she races in Aussie ‘green and gold’, the local community here is very proud of her, and tomorrow she will meet the Split mayor. Above is an article from the Slobodna Dalmacija newspaper. Another article appeared in The Australian newspaper here.

The Croatian article explains that Josephine is not the only Tomić doing well for Australia in world sport. Bernard Tomic is one of our rising tennis stars.
