OLYMPICS: Judo World Champion Trstenjak Slovenia's no.1 athlete in Rio

Ljubljana, 3 August - With three medals so far, judo has only been matched by rowing when it comes to the most successful sports at Summer Olympics for independent Slovenia. The tally is likely to improve further in Rio, as the five-member judo team also includes the reigning -63 kg world and European champion Tina Trstenjak.
