Slovenia: Lunch with Co-workers & Bronze for Košir

Some time has passed since some of us went to lunch together and today we find the time. We went to Gostilnica Orle, where we also monitored the Snowboarding Parallel Giant Slalom Race at the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi. One of our guys, Žan Košir, was one of the favourites for the medals. After a couple of runs in qualifications and 1/8 finals, we knew that he will be good and he was. In the end, he lost only a race in semi-finals and he won bronze medal, the first medal for my city Tržič. Slovenian hockey players finished their great performances in Sochi. They lost against Sweden in quarter-finals, nevertheless they surprised even the most optimistic predictions.
