There is a fabulous picture of Serbia's Mihail Dudas winning heptathlon bronze at the 2013 European Athletics Indoor Championships in Gothenburg, smiling and holding his hands up in celebration, an athlete delighted with his achievement.
But can you imagine how broad that grin will be if he repeats the feat, or takes one or two steps higher up on the podium next month in front of his own crowd in Belgrade?
Since 2008, Dudas, now 27, has become one of the most consistent and impressive multi-eventers on the European stage, winning five bronze medals.
Belgrade could be the moment he becomes a gold medallist and he cannot wait to be out there competing.
“I have big ambitions for these Championships, especially because this is my first great competition before our fans,” said Dudas.

Along with his medal success, he holds national records indoors and out.
His indoor heptathlon mark is the 6099 points he achieved by finishing third in Gothenburg while later that year he broke the heptathlon record with 8275 at the IAAF World Championships in Moscow.
But since winning bronze in the decathlon at the world junior championships in Bydgoszcz in 2008, he has made superb progress.
Multi-eventing is the toughest regime of all, simply because of the standard you need to meet in every discipline. One blip, one poor performance, and suddenly you slip down the rankings and your competition could be over.
It is why Dudas, who was born in Novi Sad, is heading to Belgrade as a big hope to make the top three again.
A year after that world junior bronze came European under-23 bronze in Kaunas before he repeated the act two years later in Ostrava.
His senior medal success started in Gothenburg and then, last July, he won bronze at the European Athletics Championships in Amsterdam, missing out on silver by just four points with 8153, so close to matching the score of Czech Adam Helcelet as Belgium’s Thomas van der Plaetsen took gold (8218).
But now, being roared on by the home support, Dudas is ready for the performance of his life.
