Slovenia is home to global sport stars including Luka Doneiae, Primoz Roglie, 
Tadej Pogaear, Janja Garnbret, Tina Trstenjak, Benjamin Savšek and many others.

As the Games draw to a close, Slovenia has proven to be one of the most 
successful countries in terms of Olympic medals per capita. In the last two 
weeks, heartful athletes have proven that a nation of just 2 million can be 
among the best in the world. 

"Top 4 in the world, a country of 2M people! What a feeling" – tweeted Luka 
Doneie after winning a basketball match over Germany. Even Mark Cuban, the 
owner of Dallas Mavericks, started posting tweets in Slovenian.

of the athletes, reasons for such remarkable stories lie in "a great tradition 
of a small country, full of natural richness and relative prosperity, trying to 
use its resources smartly. Resources, which are large enough to bring 
opportunities and too limited to make us spoiled and indolent."
