Vlade Divac was waiting for this one. Serbia's Ivana Maksimovic won the silver medal in the Olympic women's 50-meter three-position rifle final on Saturday — the second medal in her family's history, and the 100th all-time for her country. And Divac, the president of the Serbian Olympic Committee, was there to see history happen. "She's absolutely a hero," said Divac, the former NBA star. "First medal for her. Second medal for her family. Second medal for our Olympic committee at this Olympic games. And 100th medal in the history of the national Olympic movement. We've been waiting for it and she won it." — Tim Reynolds — Twitter http://www.twitter.com/ByTimReynolds ___ EDITOR'S NOTE — "Eyes on London" shows you the Olympics through the eyes of Associated Press journalists across the 2012 Olympic city and around the world.
