Serbia - Profile
General Interest
Serbia competed as an independent nation once, in 1912, before the country was incorporated into the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, the first iteration of the Yugoslavian confederation.
As part of the Yugoslavian team, Serbian athletes had a considerable amount of success, particularly in team sports. Former Serbian NOC president Vlade Divac was a leading member of the Yugoslavian men's basketball team that finished with the silver medal at the 1988 Games in Seoul. Following the breakup of Yugoslavia, Divac did not compete in Barcelona in 1992, but returned with the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia team in 1996, again winning silver.
Basketball was again a source of national pride at the 2016 Games in Brazil. The Serbian men's team led by the likes of Nikola Jokic, Milos Teodosic and Bogdan Bogdanovic took silver after losing out to the United States of America in the final, while the NOC's women's team claimed bronze, defeating France in the third-place playoff.
Another team sport would account for one of the NOC'S two gold medals accumulated at the 2016 Games. The men's water polo team recovered from two draws and one defeat in their opening three matches of the tournament to emerge victorious and claim the NOC's first Olympic title in the sport as an independent nation. Serbia's other gold medal in Rio was won by Greco-Roman wrestler Davor Stefanek in the men's 66kg division.
Jasna Sekaric competed under four different flags during her 24-year Olympic career. She won shooting gold and bronze for Yugoslavia in 1988, then won silver as an Independent Olympic Athlete in 1992. She competed for the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1996 and 2000, and Serbia and Montenegro in 2004 - winning silver medals in women's 10m air pistol in 2000 and 2004. She then competed for Serbia in 2008 and 2012, her sixth and seventh Olympic Games.
After returning to the Olympic fold as an independent nation in 2008, Serbia won its first gold medal at the London 2012 Games through Milica Mandic in the women's +67kg taekwondo event.
