Bjedov never won a medal at major international competitions, except for the 1968 Olympics, where she finished first in the 100 m breaststroke, breaking the Olympic record, and second in the 200 m breaststroke.[2] Her medley relay team was disqualified in the preliminaries though because she jumped into water too early.[3] Later that year she was selected as the Yugoslav Athlete of the Year.

After retiring from competitions Bjedov worked as a swimming coach and raised her daughter Anamarija Petričević to become an Olympic swimmer.[4] They both now live in Locarno, Switzerland.[5][6] Bjedov is the only Yugoslav swimmer inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame.[3]
