Sarovic started practicing track and field in 2008 in the Swedish club IK Ymer. He practiced track for 3 months as early as in 2001 and placed 3rd in the Regional Championships in the high jump event with a record of 1.25m, but soon lost interest due to the lack of coaches in the club.
2008
In his first 60 m competition he clocked a time of 7.47 to tie for the 4th place at the Regional Indoor Championships.[26] He ended the indoor 2008 season with a personal best of 7.34,[27] recording personal bests in all 10 races.
In his first 100 m race he ran 11.60[28] at a division 1 meet with IK Ymer placing 2nd. The remainder of the season he traveled around Sweden to competitions trying to qualify for the Swedish U20 Championships (11.50 s). He ended the season with a personal best of 11.53 in allowed winds; 11.26, 11.28, 11.41 and 11.46 with +2.4 or more wind. Since he was close to the qualifying norm, the club decided to allow him to compete at the National Junior Championships in the 100 m and 200 m events where he placed 21st and 19th respectively.[29]
At the end of the season he placed 3rd in the high jump event at the Swedish High School Championships;[30] Also 7th in the 100 m and 300 mH, and 8th in the long jump event.

On March 14–15 he competed at the Swedish National Indoor Multi Event Championships in Eskilstuna and did his first heptathlon. He finished 5th after having scored 4 personal bests.[32]
On March 23, 2009, he badly injured his left ankle when practicing pole vaulting due to a bad fall. After this he was out of practice for more than 4 months, and back in competition in late July. There was little time to get back in shape but he still finished the season with a small personal best of 11.40.[33]
At the end of the season the injury was almost completely healed and he decided to compete in the Swedish National U20 Championships in the decathlon, his first time. He placed second after having scored 5 personal bests.[34] That result still stands as the club record U20 in IK Ymer.[35]
2010
In September 2009, Sarovic moved to Belgrade, Serbia to study medicine. He then started practicing in Red Star Belgrade with coach Ljubisa Stevanovic (Шаблон:Lang-sr). This proved to be a successful cooperation.
The winter season of 2010, still recovering from the injury and not having had a regular practice since March, he averaged 7.21 in the 60m dash.
After getting back on track with practices he opened the outdoor season with a personal best in the 100 m of 11.19. He lowered his personal best 9 more times that season and finally broke the 11 s-barrier at the Serbian National Championships; 10.89 in the qualifying round and 10.90 in the finals to finish 5th on the first day. On the second day he competed in the 200 m and pole vault. He qualified for the final in the 200m event but did not run in it since it was at the same time as the pole vault; the discipline which he went on to win a gold medal in; his first at a national championship.[36]
In 2010 he won a triple gold at the Belgrade Championships:[37] 100 m, 400 m and 4 × 100 m.
Towards the end of the season he lowered his personal best down to 10.83, running out of competition at the Serbian National U18 Championships in Kragujevac, Serbia.
He finished off the season with his second decathlon and became the champion of Vojvodina with 6 new personal bests.
In November he pulled his left hamstring; an injury that persisted across the winter season to April 2011.
2011
During the winter break at his University, Sarovic went back to Sweden to compete. On February 5 he broke the 7 s-barrier with a personal best of 6.96 to finish first in the qualifying rounds of the Gothenburg Regional Championships. In the final he won with a time of 6.86, but that race got restarted due to unknown circumstances. In the re-race he placed 3rd with 7.02.[38]
He also competed in the preparative competition (Road To Göteborg 2013) for the European Indoor Championships that will be held in Gothenburg 2013. There he ran under 7 s for the third time to finish 6th with 6.96 (7.002 in the qualifying rounds).
In the summer of 2011 Sarovic competed in his first major competitions:
First at the Belgrade International Athletics Meet [39] (10.93), then at the European Champion Clubs Cup at his own Red Star stadium[40] (22.18 PB & 10.84). He made his debut in the national team in Novi Sad at the European Team Championships, 2nd League, for the 4 × 100 m[41] (40.91). He made his second appearance for the National Team at the 64th Balkan Championships in Sliven, Bulgaria, running the 4x100 and the 100 m and 200 m out of competition. In the 100 m he lowered his personal best to 10.46[42] (2nd fastest at the Balkan Championships overall) and thus qualified for the European U23 Championships (10.55) in Ostrava, Czech Republic. That is also the 5th fastest time in history in Serbia, a National U23 Record and the fastest time in Serbia in 2011.[43] In the 200 m event he broke the 22s-barrier with a slightly wind assisted race 21.97 (+2.1).[44] His last major competition was the European Championships U23 in Ostrava where he finished 20th after having injured his hamstring.[45]
During the outdoor season he competed at three national championships. At the Serbian U23 championships he finished first in the 400 m and 4 × 100 m, and second in the 100 m event.[11] At the Serbian championships he won the gold medal in the 200 m, the silver in the 100 m,[46] and the bronze in the decathlon event.[47]
2012
Sarovic opened up the season with a personal best of 6.95 seconds in the 60 m. He followed up by winning gold at the Belgrade Championships (6.92 PB)[48] and the Open Championship of Vojvodina (6.91 PB).[49] In February he travelled to Sweden to compete at the Gothenburg Regional Championships; despite running a slow race in the 200 m and having a bad start in the 60 m, he lowered his indoor personal best twice in the 200 m to 22.57 to win gold, and also in the 60 m to 6.89 for second place.[50]
On February 18 Sarovic made his first appearance in the 60 m dash for the Serbian National Team at the Balkan Championships in Istanbul, Turkey. He won the bronze medal, his first at an international competition. In the semifinal he fell out of the blocks, but recuperated to qualify for the final with the second-best time and an equalled personal best of 6.89. In the final he placed third with 6.90.[5]
The summer season started off with a victory at the Belgrade Cup in the 100 m with 10.79.[51] At the Serbian Team Championships he won the 100 m at 10.96, running into a headwind of -1.0.[52] At the first international competition of the season, the European Champion Clubs Cup in Dubnica nad Váhom, Slovakia, he won his race in the 100 m at 10.76 to finish 4th in total.[53] At the Serbian Cup he placed first in the 100 m with the time 10.73. Second in this race was Milos Savic, a Serbian sprinter that had not lost a single race on national competitions in six years. In the 200 m he placed third with 21.95 (+2.1) after a poorly distributed race, 0.03 s from the gold.[54]
At the Serbian Championships in Novi Sad,[7] the competition for the 100 m was stronger than ever; 9 sprinters under 11s at the start of the season, with a couple more to join after the qualifying rounds. In the semifinals, Sarovic sprinted with ease, winning the race at 10.79. In the finals he gained pole position after 10 m and maintained the lead to win the gold medal at 10.49 with a slightly wind-assisted race (+2.4). In the 4×100 m relay he won the bronze medal together with Suad Gasi, Predrag Jovanovic, and Filip Istvanovic. In the 200 m event, Sarovic qualified for the final with 22.48 into a slight headwind. In the final he lowered his personal best by 0.42 s to 21.52 and defended his title from 2011. This result brought him up from 46th to 19th in the Serbian all-time lists.
In the beginning of July, Sarovic travelled to Gothenburg, Sweden, to compete at Världsungdomsspelen at Ullevi Stadium, a competition that attracts many of the top athletes from the region and beyond. In the 100 m he ran a controlled race at 10.92 to qualify for the finals. In the finals he lost his only race in the 2012 season: 10.89 and a fourth place.[55] In the 200 m, he won the qualifying race at 22.04 and finished fifth in the finals with 21.99.[56]
At the Serbian U23 Championships he won his first gold medal in the 100 m dash in that competition, and a silver in the 4×100 m relay.[10]
He finished the 2012 season by competing at the 65th Balkan Championships, and making his first appearances for the Serbian National Team in the 100 m, and 200 m dashes. He made his third appearance in the 4×100 m relay. In the 100 m he got off to a bad start, but caught up with the Turkish and Bulgarian sprinters in the lead during the last 20 m to win the race at 10.76 (+0.3), and become the Balkan champion in the discipline; this was his second medal at the Balkan Championships (the first being a bronze from the Balkan Indoor Championships in Istanbul in March earlier that year). Together with fellow countrymen Milan Ristic, Marko Antic, and Aleksandar Stojanovic, Sarovic got the bronze medal in the 4 × 100 m relay with the time 40.94. The next day he competed in the 200 m dash, where he finished 5th in a race with very heavy winds.[57]
