Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympics start

The first Olympics on the territory of South America start on Friday, August 5, in Rio de Janeiro. More than 11,000 athletes from 206 national olympic committees will participate in the 31st Olympics.

Among them is Serbia, with 103 athletes and the desire to win a record number of medals, which shouldn’t be a problem, considering that the current record of four medals (gold, silver and two bronzes) was set four years ago in London.

These are Serbia’s fourth Olympics under that name. It all started in Stockholm in 1912, and Serbia appeared again as an independent state in Beijing in 2008, following decades of participation as part of Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro.

Serbia’s most promising athletes in Rio certainly include the world’s best tennis player, Novak Djokovic, followed by the water polo team, the athlete Ivana Spanovic, kayakers Marko Novakovic and Nebojsa Grujic, wrestler Davor Stefanek, shooters headed by Ivana Maksimovic and Andrea Arsovic, women’s and men’s basketball teams...
