Biography edit
Trajković was raised in the Serbian town of Surdulica but emigrated with his family to Cyprus at the age of nine with the end of SFR of Yugoslavia as a result of the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia.[4]
At the 2016 Rio Olympics, he qualified for the final of Men's 110 metres hurdles with times of 13.41 seconds and 13.31 in the semi-finals.[5] With this qualification, Trajkovic became the first Cypriot athlete to qualify for this event at the Olympic Games.
His personal bests are 13.25 seconds in the 110 metres hurdles (0.0 m/s, London 2017) and 7.51 seconds in the 60 metres hurdles (Birmingham, 2018). Both are current national records.
