Yes, I care too. I am cheering for our neighbour Bernd Wiesberger and for Henrik Stenson.

Slovenia has won second medal in Rio. Peter Kauzer took silver in K1 Slalom for Men. That means Rio 2016 are next Games, from which Slovenia will came home with at least two medals. (as in Barcelona, Atlanta, Sydney, Athens, Beijing and also London). Well done!

Yes yes, Kapsl goes for silver. Bravo, Pero !!!

This was quite interesting yesterday

Well done, Vasko, this is really our Super Tuesday. I was watching first race on HRT, he was really focused and is once more well prepared. As Croatian commentator said (she and her co- worker were really good), Vasilij is born for Olympics. He always knows how to prepare very well every four years.

And some people said how will Tina handle with pressure as she was first seeded and also debutant at Olympics. She calmly stated, she was sparing partner for Urška in London, so she had some kind of experience. Way the go, Tina ! Looks like our Tinas are quite something.

Tina Trstenjak wins gold medal in judo. This is first medal for Slovenia in Rio, 20th medal since our independence and 44th medal in total.

Tina is the strongest. This category stays Slovenian. (London - Urška Žolnir)

I watched all football matches in short version from first two days, then ofcourse opening, yesterday my main goals were to see all medal events (at least with a short delay), all our athletes and maybe some team event action (especially football, handball, basketball and water polo). I am not so eager to watch swimming finals at 3 am, I rather go to sleep at midnight and see swimming finals and all other late activities in the morning. The only exception will be, if one of our athletes will compete in finals or next week with athletics.

Slovenia will compete in Rio with 60 athletes, which is third smallest delegation since our independence. For the third time we will compete in team sports (again men's handball). Our flag bearer will be only participant to win a medal in previous Games, Vasilij Žbogar, competing in sailing. Goals of our team are very modest, win a medal. If we count also our competitors under former Yugoslavia, then Slovenia has won at least a medal every time since 1984.

Dobrodošli, prijatelji športa na posebni forumski strani, namenjeni tistim ljudem, ki jih zanimajo slovenske športne dogodivščine. ----------------- Greetings, dear friends of sports. This is a special forum site, dedicated to those people, interested in Slovenian sports adventures.

I am still surprised Slovenia does not compete in this sport. First olympic medal took Rudolf Cvetko in 1912 (Fencing), I know you are familiar with our Swimming (Sara Isakovič) and Athletics (Primož Kozmus, Jolanda Čeplak, Brigita Bukovec,...) medals. Do not forget about our experiences in shooting (Rajmond Debevec), and we even have very good training facilities for Equestrian (Lipica, Celje,..). So, it is really strange not competing in this event. BTW, as many of you I am also extremely dissapointed on media production of this wonderful sport. As we would still be living way back in 20th Century.
