BELGRADE, June 30 (Reuters) - A journeywoman in European club basketball for most of her career, American-born Danielle Page will fulfill a childhood dream by playing in the 2016 Olympics for Serbia.
The 28-year old from Colorado Springs, granted Serbian citizenship in March, will represent her adopted country at next year's games in Rio de Janeiro after helping the Balkan nation win their maiden European championship on Sunday.
"Every little girl dreams of going to the Olympics but it didn't look realistic to me until recently," a delighted Page, draped in a Serbian flag after the team received a royal homecoming from 15,000 fans in front of the Belgrade city hall on Monday, told Reuters.
