Early life

[edit]

Maksimović, who originally played tennis as a child, started to shoot when she was eleven.[1]

Career

[edit]

Maksimović represented Serbia at the 2012 Summer Olympics,[2] most notably winning a silver at the Women's 50 metre rifle three positions. She achieved the best individual round of the competition, but was unable to finish ahead of American Jamie Lynn Gray, who set a new Olympic record in the event, winning by 4.4 points.[3] Maksimović's medal was Serbia's 100th at the Olympic Games.[4]

Maksimović was chosen as 2014 Summer Youth Olympics shooting athlete role model.[5] She was chosen to be the flag bearer for Serbia at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics.[6]

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, she competed in 10 metre air rifle and 50 metre rifle three positions. In the 10 m air rifle competition, she finished in 12th place during the qualification round and did not advance to the final.[7] In the 50 m rifle three positions competition, she finished 19th in the qualification round and did not advance to the final.[8]

After taking part in the 2017 European Shooting Championships in Baku, Maksimović had a two-year break from sports shooting until returning for the 2019 ISSF World Cup in Rio de Janeiro in August 2019.[9]

Personal life
