    I would just like to add that Slovenia is very successful in winter sports. We have many successful sportsmen in skiing, like Tina Maze, who was a world champion in all woman ski categories in 2013/2014 season, in ski jumping, like Peter Prevc who was also a world champion in the 2015/2016 season, in snow boarding Žan Košir who is a silver medallist from 2014 winter olymipic games in Sochi and the bronze medallists from this year Olympic games in Pyongchang and in ski running where Jakov Fak also has a lot of medals, namely a silver one from this year Olympic games in Pyongchang.
