Athletes have to think about the continuation of their career path already during their competitive participation. In order to empower young promising athletes and encourage them to actively develop a dual career, a three-day event with practical workshops was held under the auspices of the Coca-Cola Youth Academy between November 17 and 19, 2017 in Portorož. Former alpine skier Petra Robnik was among the lecturers.

"It's important to participate, not to win!" Well, yes. Anyway. The Olympic Games are considered the biggest and most important sporting event in the world and for many athletes they represent the pinnacle of their careers. Of course, there are also sports industries that have other, more important events. But none, except OI, date back to about 2,800 years ago. Paris is in the running to host the 2024 Games and special awards have been prepared to mark the occasion.

A mock image of the Olympic venue in Rio - this is what the Maracana looks like today https://citymagazine.si/en/poor-image-of-the-olympic-venue-in-rio-this-is-how-the-maracana-looks-today/ Tue, 14 Feb 2017 07:01:10 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=289110

The fate of most Olympic facilities is cruel. This was also confirmed by the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, where the facilities are crumbling miserably after the withdrawal of athletes, spectators and cameras. The saddest image is shown by the famous Maracana stadium, where the finals of the World Cup were held in 2014, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the Summer Olympics took place here last summer. Meanwhile, the Olympic venues in PyeongChang, which will host the 2018 Winter Olympics, are getting their beautiful look.

You probably all still vividly remember the scene when Petra Majdič fell off the track and into a three-meter ditch during training at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. At that time, Slovenia's breath stopped, and Petra, despite broken ribs and a punctured lung, later won the bronze medal for Slovenia in excruciating pain. A heroine was born in Canada, who was sung by the whole world, and today her epic story is brought to life in the documentary Against All Odds - Petra Majdic's Incredible Story of Sacrifice.

German twins Anna and Lisa Hahner finished 81st and 82nd in the marathon and would probably have gone unnoticed if they hadn't crossed the finish line holding hands. Instead of the moment going down as one of the most moving of the Rio 2016 Olympics, the Germans became the target of criticism as the move was self-promotional, with the director of the German Athletics Federation, Thomas Kurschilgen, even saying that their performance looked like olympic match one big joke.

Rio 2016: Julius Yego - the javelin thrower who was taught how to throw by YouTube https://citymagazine.si/en/rio-2016-julius-yego-javelin-thrower-who-has-learned-to-throw-youtube/ Sun, 21 Aug 2016 06:14:21 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=249229

The story of Kenyan athlete Julius Yego is truly unusual. Although Kenya has always been considered the land of runners, Julius Yego is not a runner. Julius Yego is a javelin thrower. And not some average one. He came to the Rio Olympics as a favorite. The force came to this title in an unusual way. After being written off by the coaches in high school and realizing he wasn't a good runner, he tried his hand at the javelin. The problem? Where the hell do you get a javelin coach in Kenya and most importantly where do you even get a javelin? Regarding the latter, he has somehow found his way, and he even hired a YouTube channel as a coach! This honed him into one of the best javelin throwers in the world!

The next time you think you're too old for something, remember Madonna Buder, the 86-year-old Iron Nun, as she's called, the new face of Nike's ''Unlimited'' (Unlimited Youth) campaign, proving that age is no excuse. At almost ninety, he still competes in the Ironman triathlon, which means that he first swims 3.8 kilometers, then cycles 180 kilometers and then runs another 42 kilometers! It embodies both the slogan of Ironman: Anything is Possible (Everything is possible.) and Nike: Unlimited Youth (Eternal Youth).

Many athletes like to decorate their enviable body with various tattoos. Even in the Slovenian Olympic team, there are some who wear tattoos. The tennis player Polona Hercog is certainly the most noticeable, and the kayaker Peter Kauzer, who has a tattoo of a lion with a crown on his shoulder, is not far behind. But those two are far from the only ones we spotted with tattoos at the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Many Olympic facilities, which at the height of their popularity (at the time of the Olympic Games) were an architectural masterpiece, today show a shabby image, which is a far cry from the one of years ago, when people crowded there. After the spotlights receded, they became home to stray dogs and cats and weeds. Many former Olympic venues have been cruelly dealt with by fate, and today you will look for the former glory there in vain.

It's not easy being a top athlete. Sport at the highest level requires a lot of sacrifices. The same applies to the "profession" of mother, which also requires a great deal of patience and many sacrifices. But no matter how tiring it is, just like in top-class sports, all the effort pays off in the end. Maybe the reward doesn't come in the form of a medal, the medal mom gets around her neck is her child's smile, his kiss on her cheek before bed, a hug, or a drawing he drew just for her. No matter how hard parenting is, comparable to the training of a top athlete, just like athletes, mothers know that it will pay off someday. Mother will not experience the acceptance for her successful upbringing, as Tina Trstenjak will, but her mother and father are to a large extent responsible for it.

With this, Bera's tally of Olympic medals from the Summer Olympics in Slovenia increased to 20, to which judo, together with Urška Žolnir, Lucija Polavder and Trstenjakova, already contributed four medals! Tina Trstenjak succeeded Urška Žolnir on the Olympic throne. Take a look at her ipon, which won her a minor medal at the OI.

The main news of the day from the diving venue (Maria Lenk Aquatics Center) is that the water suddenly changed color from blue to green just before the final. But at this venue these days we witnessed another phenomenon. At the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, the story from London 2012 was repeated, when the graphics on the TV screen showing the results of the jumpers "censored" the groin area of the contestants, and for a moment it seemed that you were "naked". Some scenes even resemble scenes from adult films! Don't believe it? See for yourself!

The Olympics: Unusual Olympic sports that are no more https://citymagazine.si/en/olympic-games-unusual-olympic-sports-that-dont-exist-anymore/ Wed, 10 Aug 2016 06:15:58 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=247082

So far, 43 different sports have been present in the Olympic program at the Summer Olympics. The current program of the Summer Olympics includes 28 sports with 38 disciplines. In the past, many sports were also present at the Olympic Games, which we will not see at the Rio 2016 Olympics. Such are tug-of-war and hot air ballooning. This year, after more than 100 years, golf returned to the list, and in 2014 the International Olympic Committee removed the restriction that only 28 sports could be represented at the Olympic Games, which was often the main reason that certain sports fell out of the program. The limit is now 10,500 athletes and 310 events, which will apply for the first time at POI Tokyo 2020.

Rio 2016: all different, all equal https://citymagazine.si/en/rio-2016-all-different-all-equal/ Wed, 10 Aug 2016 06:06:46 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=247200

Every day, the 2016 Summer Olympics serve up new top achievements, new milestones, new moments of indescribable joy and sadness, and last but not least, new memes. But Rio 2016 will go down in history with something else. It represents a milestone for athletes of the Muslim faith. Some time ago, due to religious and cultural reasons (not least the weather conditions, remember, it was quite cold in London), the International Volleyball Federation adjusted the rules regarding the equipment of the competitors, which opened the door wide open for the Egyptians Doaaji El Ghobashy and Nadi Meawad, who made sure that the "unusual" scenes from the beach volleyball match went to the world. But this is not the only "non-sporting" historical moment from Rio.

Rio 2016: American archer and husband of Slovenian woman Leonardo DiCaprio is cut https://citymagazine.si/en/rio-2016-the-american-archer-and-the-mouse-of-the-slovenian-woman-is-cut-by-leonardo-dicaprio/ Mon, 08 Aug 2016 14:56:07 +0000 http://citymagazine.si/?post_type=article&p=246995

What does Leonardo DiCaprio do when he takes a break from making movies? Enjoying a yacht with the girls and scaring his friends? No! He participates in the Olympic Games. At least that's what many believed, who confused him with American archer Brady Ellison, who recently won a silver medal with his national team in a team competition in Rio. But the seventh-ranked player in the world did not attract attention because of his sporting achievements. Brady, who months ago proposed to the well-known Slovenian archer Toja Černe, closely resembles the famous actor, and many were convinced that DiCaprio was on the American team.

Have you noticed that some of the athletes competing in the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics, including the famous 31-year-old swimmer Michael Phelps, have unusual dark red circles on their skin? It's not an allergic reaction, it's not love bites, it's not a cigar burn. It is a very special ancient therapy with glasses, which is supposed to reduce pain and is widely used by American athletes, and many celebrities have been walking around the world with unusual spots on their skin for a long time.

The American swimmers who compete in the Olympic Games drew attention to themselves outside the pools again, and this time also by singing. If they opened their mouths to the song Call Me Maybe (OI London 2012) four years ago, they recorded karaoke in the car at the OI Rio 2016. The famous Michael Phelps, the most successful Olympian of all time, who won 22 medals at the Olympic Games, including 18 gold ones, also tried his hand at singing!
