'''Duje Draganja''' (born [[February 27]], [[1983]] in [[Split (city)|Split]]) is a swimmer from [[Croatia]] who won the silver medal in the men's 50 meter freestyle at the [[2004 Summer Olympics]] in [[Athens]], [[Greece]].
Draganja is also a former NCAA record holder in the 100 yard freestyle, with a time of 41.49, set in 2005, while he swam for the [[University of California, Berkeley]]. He, like many other world-class, non-American swimmers, chose to spend 4 years training and competing at an American university. During his four years with Cal, Duje won 10 [[PAC-10]] swimming titles, and eight [[NCAA]] National championships. While at Cal, he trained with the world-renown sprinting coach [[
He has been controversial in Croatia for his decision to take the citizenship of [[Qatar]] and continue his swimming career under the flag of that country, after receiving a very lucrative offer to do so. Croatian public opinion largely turned against Draganja at that time with the press portraying him as a villain with no respect for his homeland. Draganja accepted a Qatar passport in August 2005 claiming that he will keep his Croatian passport and will not change his religion.
