He most certainly fulfills criteria #6 of : ''Has won the elite division of multiple notable* road races (including the same race multiple times) or has established a history of highly competitive, non-winning performances in many notable races (at least 10 top threes).'' He placed third at the Belgrade marathon and your own citation shows that he was only seconds slower than the second-placed runner who ran a 2:18, which means that he fulfilled an Olympic B norm for the marathon. Furthermore, he has competed for his country in foreign countries (Budapest, Hungary in 2001, Munich, Germany in 2002, Austin, TX, USA in 2002, Athens, Athens Greece in 2008) which stands for his success outside of his nation's borders. He has a presence in the media having been constantly cited as one of Serbia's biggest names in athletics--I believe this qualifies him as '''not''' being a failure. --> http://www.srpskadijaspora.info/vest.asp?id=4675 Mentioned by "Serbian Diaspora" as the First runner (in Serbian context this means fastest) of Serbia and Montenegro, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budapest_Half_Marathon won the Budapest Half Marathon in 2001, http://www.politika.rs/rubrike/Sport/t20744.lt.html Mentioned by Politika along with Olympian Ana Subotic as the "fastest senior" of Serbia in 2007, http://www.b92.net/sport/vesti.php?yyyy=2008&mm=02&dd=10&nav_id=284308 B92 citing him as one of Serbia's silver medalists at the Balkaniada in Athens in 2008--the others were Olympians Asmir Kolasinac and Ana Subotic. Ninkovic ran an 8:20 (min/sec) in the indoor 3000 meter http://www.b92.net/sport/ekipni/ostalo.php?yyyy=2004&mm=07&dd=17&nav_id=146106 B92 citing him as "state athlete" of Yugoslavia
