"Out of a total of 52, as much as 70 percent of the competitors came from countries where olives are not grown," said Ivana Jelinčić, director of the Tourist Board of Postira, highlighting the unique nature of the event.
"We don't have olives, but we have experience picking apples, cherries, plums and potatoes, […] and we love olive oil," said Tadas Dunauskas from team Lithuania, explaining their unexpected success.
"We are extremely happy and satisfied because being the best among the best is something special that we will remember for the rest of our lives," Dunauskas added, emphasizing the personal significance of the win.
