    Which sport? I don’t think they re good at soccer, or better than others in martial arts; definitely worse than us northern west Asians in Olympic wrestling/boxing/mma
    Basketball? That’s because of their height

    They are not better than Croatia. In last Olympics Croatia won more medals than Serbia did (with 2X smaller population)
    Compared to percentage of population, Slovenia is also better than Serbia.

    Higher population may have to do with why they're better than their ex-Yugoslav neighbors (who are also generally pretty good at sports).

    We are better than them with smaller population, and especially Slovenians.

    In our last match in waterpolo Serbs were beaten, and Croatia won world title. Tennis? We had far more big players than Serbia. Serbia only has Đoković, who is half Croat, and better than all our players.
    But we have always been tennis power compared to them, and we won Davis Cup last season.

    Serbs are much better in volleyball and basketball, although in basketball in the past it wasn't so.
    We outclass them in handball, and most importanly, football.

    In combat sports they are nowhere close to Croats either.

    If you count 1 team sport = 1 medal, in fact Serbs bring home 3x more medals than Croats
