The first, and a gold medal at that, was won by the wrestler Davor Stefanek. Silver was won by the 18 years old Tijana Bogdanović, a competitor in taekwondo. And this series of medals was continued by the kayakers Milenko Zoric and Marko Tomasevic, who won silver, and the long jumper Ivana Spanovic, who won bronze. Water polo players for the first time became Olympic champions, and the historic achievement was recorded by the Serbian women's basketball team that won bronze medal. The volleyball team won silver and the Serbian basketball players were decorated with silver medal.
The Institute congratulates all our medal winners, and wishes them success in the future!
