Biography
Trajković was raised in the Serbian town of Surdulica but emigrated with his family to Cyprus at the age of nine 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, Trajković 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.
