It started with the Serbian Olympic Club, which was founded on February 23, 1910 by a select group of officers and enthusiasts of the movement of a certain French baron Pierre de Coubertin. Later it was called the Central Federal Administration or the Central Olympic Club, and on July 17, 1912, it changed its name to the Serbian Olympic Committee. So he sends a delegation to the Olympic Games in Stockholm. Svetomir Đukić, one of the founders of the Serbian Olympic Club, became a member of the IOC in 1920 - now as a "delegate" of the newly established Yugoslav Olympic Committee (1919). After SOK, the inheritance will be taken over by JOK (twice) and OKSCG, so that the whole story - after 100 years - will return to the old way.
Due to rare historical and - no less - administrative circumstances, today's Olympic Committee of Serbia is the heir of the first one, no matter how much the Olympic committees of the countries that emerged from Yugoslavia tried to prove "their" participation in that Olympic work even before it began. Let's not lie, the "friends" of Serbian Olympism also do it (two of "ours" participated in the first modern games in 1896 in Athens, not to mention King Alexander in the audience).
Be that as it may, the performance is clear. Participation in 21 summer and 17 winter Olympics, 1258 athletes and 134 holders of gold, 172 silver and 102 bronze medals. Or, a little differently: in 100 years, 98 medals were won: 28 gold, 35 silver and 35 bronze. And here, in Yugoslavia, we saw the Winter Olympics in 1984 in Sarajevo, the Mediterranean Games in 1979 in Split, and the World Student Sports Games in 1987 in Zagreb.
