Slovenia: Local skiing competition / Snowmobile riding / Another medal for Prevc

Local sport society ŠD Podlubelj organized skiing competition on a deserted ski resort and I was a part of the team in charge of the time measurements, so since I was there I also joined the competition. Good time was guaranteed.

We beat Slovakia 3:1 and this is the first win for Slovenian team ever on their first Olympic Games. Report of the game is here. Slovenia is a country of 2 million people. According to the International Ice Hockey Federation, the country has 148 registered senior male players, seven ice rinks, one fully professional team and is No. 17 in the IIHF rankings. Read full report here.

After the medals were given to the winners we went riding with snowmobiles. Two locals have them and we decided to go to the top of the ski resort, to the hut, for a beer.
