LJUBLJANA, Slovenia, Aug. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

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.

use its resources smartly. Resources, which are large enough to bring

opportunities and too limited to make us spoiled and indolent."
