First Olympic medal winners for Slovenia enter Hall of Fame

The trio was inaugurated into the elite club honoured by the Slovenian Sports Journalists Association as the first winners of Olympic medals for Slovenia.

Jure Košir (46), competed for 15 seasons in the World Cup to earn 3 wins and 20 podium finishes, but his biggest achievement was the bronze medal in the men's slalom at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway.

Katja Koren Miklavec (43), broke out in 1993 as a 18-year-old to earn her first and only win in the World Cup in the women's super-G in Flachau, but the result that earned her the honour is the bronze medal in the slalom in Lillehammer.

Alenka Dovžan (42) was actually the first to win an Olympic medal for Slovenia, which also came in Lillehammer, where she won the bronze medal in the combined competition. She also won one World Cup race, a super-G in Italy's Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1994.
