Topić competed until 2012, and had one of the longest careers in high-level high jump, since he holds not only world junior record with 2.37 m, but also world masters record for the ages over 35 (2.31 m, set in 2009), and over 40 years of age (2.28 m, set in 2012).
He competed at eight World Championships,[2] and at six Olympic Games (between 1992 and 2012),[3] which is an Olympic record for high jump, and he also shared the record for most appearances at the Olympics by a male track and field athlete with distance runner João N'Tyamba and race walker Jesús Ángel García,[4] who later broke the record.
(q) Indicates overall position in the qualifying round.
At the 2012 Olympic Games, Topić had three failures at the opening height of 2.16 m in the qualifying round.
Doping
On 2 February 2001, after a meeting in Wuppertal, Germany, he was tested and his urine sample showed the presence of norandrosterone in concentrations slightly higher than allowed. He was tested positive to norandrosterone and suspended for two years.[5][6]
Personal life
His wife is Serbian former track and field athlete and national record holder in triple jump, Biljana Topić (née Mitrović), and he served as her coach while he was still an active competitor. Their daughter, Angelina Topić, won the high jump event at the 2022 European U18 Championships and also holds the national record in high jump, as well as equal world U18 best.[7]
