Sašo Jereb (born 20 January 1983 in Žiri) is a Slovenian judoka, who competed in the men's lightweight category.[1] He represented his nation Slovenia at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and also held five Slovenian championship titles to his career hardware in the 73-kg division.[2] Throughout his sporting career, Jereb trained full-time for the Olympic Judo Club (Slovene: Judo Klub Olimpija) in Ljubljana.[3]
