Slovenia National Thread / Paris 2024

I will try to go through all previous performances and to find out, what the future brings, if particular sport will have  image.png  representatives in Tokio.

Equestrian

 

 

I am always surprised, how this is not sport, in which we could seldom see Slovenian athletes. Our lovely land is known for its beautiful heritage, one of most recognized is Lipicanec (Lipizzaner), special breed, originated from small town of Lipica in Littoral Slovenian.

Nevertheless, there were two Games with Slovenian participation in equestrian.

Vladimir Seunig competed in 1924, where he took part in Dressage. Another three athletes competed in Dressage at the 1984 Games, with Alojz Lah finishing highest (15th).

 

It does not look, there could be another representative any soon, though there are a lot of organized events on international level, especially in Jumping events.

Fencing

 

 

Fencing brought first Slovenian performance in history of Olympic Games and also first medal. Rudolf Cvetko competed in 1912 under Austrian-Hungary empire and won a silver medal in Team event with sabre.

In Berlin 1936 delegation consisted of 3 men and 1 female. All 3 male competitor finished 12th in Team Foil event for Yugoslavia.

 

In modern era there are only a few athletes, who found their place on World Rankings, with no fencer coming close to top 100, so there will not be any Slovenian in Tokio. For example, last year in Budapest, there were no one who could pass qualification through the last 64.

Field Hockey

 

 

Field Hockey is one of those sports, in which Slovenia never came even close to qualify for Qlympics. In our country there are currently only three active teams, all from North Eastern part. Main cause is due to conditions, apart from Lipovci, Predanovci and Moravske Toplice other towns don't have artificial grass court. Interestingly enough, in our land there is still official name for this sport "Hokej na travi", which means "Grass Hockey", though it is very rarely played on grass.

 

Slovenia National Team played last season in lowest tier of EuroHockey Challenge, where they finished last, that means 29th in Europe. In 2009, team competed in second tier, which was biggest success so far. 

 

Currently, there are 90 nations on FIH World Rankings, Slovenia is ranked 72nd.

Women are on 48th place among 75 teams.

    • (Quiet gaming, zero social pressure, no calls, no KYC… just peace.) As someone who’s definitely on the introverted side, I’ve always hated anything that feels intrusive — long registrations, support calls, verification uploads, or sites that spam you into interacting. So over the past year, I tested a bunch of crypto casinos specifically to see which ones are introvert-friendly: ✔ no forced KYC ✔ fast payouts (so no long back-and-forth with support) ✔ clean, quiet UI ✔ no pop-ups and no social pressure ✔ easy deposits ✔ minimal interaction needed Below is what actually worked for me. ⭐ My Top Crypto Casinos for Introverts (Real Testing Results) Casino Why It’s Introvert-Friendly Speed Link JackBit Quiet UI, no KYC, instant payouts 7 min 👉 Play at JackBit BetWhale Low-pressure bonuses, simple layout 14 min 👉 Play at BetWhale BitStarz Fast cashouts, no forced conversations 9 min 👉 Play at BitStarz ThunderPick Clean minimalist design 18 min 👉 Play on ThunderPick 7Bit Casino Extremely chill, no notifications 22 min 👉 Play at 7Bit 1. JackBit – The Most Comfortable Casino for Quiet Players If you’re introverted like me, JackBit is basically perfect. No popups, no aggressive promos, no forced messages — just a clean interface and silent, fast gameplay. My experience as an introvert: I deposited and withdrew without any human interaction No KYC requests (crypto only) The layout is simple and not socially “loud” Withdrawals landed in under 10 minutes It’s the casino I keep coming back to simply because nothing bothers me.   👉 Play at JackBit (Zero Social Pressure) 2. BetWhale – Best for Quiet Bonus Hunters BetWhale surprised me — their bonuses are generous without requiring chats, emails, or ID checks. Why it works for introverts: Wagering progress updates silently No pushy pop-ups The whole site feels “low-pressure” Support never contacts you unless you message first It’s a very low-interaction platform.   👉 Play at BetWhale (Smooth & Simple) 3. BitStarz – Fast Payouts Means Less Interaction BitStarz is great if you want to deposit, play, withdraw and leave — quick and efficient, no conversations needed. What I like: Withdrawals are some of the fastest online No random KYC prompts if you use crypto Very stable gameplay (no need to contact support) A calm, mature-feeling interface Perfect for players who like things to “just work.”   👉 Play at BitStarz (Quick & Quiet Gaming) 4. ThunderPick – Best for Introverts Who Like Betting Too ThunderPick has one of the smoothest, cleanest interfaces I’ve used. Everything is intuitive and visually quiet — no clutter, no noise. Introvert-friendly perks: Great for casual betting without chat rooms Mobile interface is extremely calm No forced community features You can switch between casino & sports without talking to anyone     👉 Play on ThunderPick (Minimalist Interface) 5. 7Bit – The Chillest, Quietest Crypto Casino 7Bit feels like a casino designed for people who want to be left alone. Why I recommend it: No aggressive marketing No forced KYC unless you use fiat Huge game library with silent browsing Simple cashier with no need for support interactions It’s a very relaxed environment.   👉 Play at 7Bit (Totally Low-Pressure) Final Thoughts — The Introvert’s Casino Shortlist If you want a quiet, private gaming experience without feeling watched, talked to, or pressured: 🏆 Best Overall for Introverts: JackBit 🏆 Best Quiet Bonus Experience: BetWhale 🏆 Fastest Stress-Free Payouts: BitStarz 🏆 Best Minimalist UI: ThunderPick 🏆 Most Chill Game Library: 7Bit
    • It's not a coincidence that a lot of the matches that are earlier in the day are in Atlanta and Houston and Dallas where they have roofs.  And most of the games in the outdoor stadiums are later in the day.
    • The best athletes will all be there anyway – it's easier to get a spot in the top 10-15. Only the great champions were ahead of Gismondi today.
    • They are not "oppressed enough" to be mention here.
    • And remember the Olympic Paradox - it is slightly easier to get a medal at the Olympics than at a World Cup because in the Olympics the numbers of racers from the powerful nations are capped at 4.  
    • Jimmy Mariano  basketball. 84 years old.   Member of the Philippine men’s basketball team at the 1972 Summer Olympics. Flag bearer for the Philippine delegation at those Games.    
    • Franchi had a similarly impressive performance at the 2023 World Championships on the same distance but later she completly missing. I hope that with Gismondi will be different, especially since she was already a great talent in her junior years. The problem in Italy is that for the past 15 years, aside from Pellegrino, there has been a miss of stability in other athletes: there are some booms of excellent form, but later they disappear. I also worry that funding for cross-country skiing will be cut after the Cortina Olympics.
    • The last day was a great success, for first. Secondly, even 20 medals are fewer than the 22 from 2023 and 34 from 2021
