Early life

Šekarić was born in Belgrade, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia – and grew up in Osijek, SR Croatia, then part of Yugoslavia – where she began to practice shooting. In the school competitions, Šekarić first competed with a rifle and achieved a decent place at the regional championships. She later began to use a pistol. In 1990, Šekarić moved to Belgrade, where she had a successful year in sports at a private level. She is divorced and has two children, Lea and Luka.[3]

Career

Šekarić was named the best sportswoman and shooter in the SFR Yugoslavia, Croatia, FR Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro, and Serbia. In 1988 and 1994, she received a Golden Badge of the JSL Sport award for Yugoslavia's best athlete.[4] Despite having never changed nationality, Šekarić has competed under four flags at her six Olympics. She competed for Yugoslavia at the 1988 Olympics. In 1992, since Yugoslavia was under UN sanctions, Šekarić – along with fifty other Serbians, Montenegrins, and Macedonians – competed as Independent Olympic Participants. Her next two Olympics were under the flag of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. In 2004, she competed representing Serbia and Montenegro, which had the same flag as FR Yugoslavia, and she finally competed for Serbia in 2008.[2]
