Bio

Born on 2.5.1983 in Slovenj Gradec. When I was one year old, me and my parents moved
to Prevalje to my current address in Črna na Koroškem.
Here I attended kindergarden and primary school Črna na Koroškem. In primary school
years, in addition to skiing, I also trained volley ball and studied piano for six
years.

After the primary school I attended gymnasium high school in Ravne na Koroškem and
was simultaneously accepted in womens B ski team.

That was the first time I raced in FIS races and achieved 2.nd and 1.st place from
position numbers 121 and 125.

A lot of nice memories are bounding me to those times, because that was also the
time when I started racing in World Cup and soon started to achieve best positions,
especially in giant slalom.

In the year 2008, me and Andrea Massi established a new team, separated from
Slovenian national team s, called Team to aMAZE, and took another road.

Our decision turned out to be the right one and has brought us great success. I
have won nine World Cup races in my career which, at the moment classifies me as
the best alpine skier in Slovenia.

My greatest victoryes until today are silver medal in giant slalom at World
Championships 2009 and two Olympic silver medals in giant slalom and super G.
