On September 1, 2026, Slovenian athlete Kristjan Čeh won a gold medal in discus throw at the Mediterranean Games in Taranto, Italy, achieving a distance of 68.70 meters. This marked his third gold medal for Slovenia at these games, contributing to a total of 15 medals. The event was marred by poor organization, including delays and equipment failures, which affected competition conditions. Čeh noted the lack of proper accreditation for his wife and trainer, forcing them to stay in the city. He also expressed disappointment with the technical conditions during the competition but remained satisfied with his performance. Meanwhile, Slovenia’s men’s 4x100m relay team finished third with a time of 39.29 seconds, slightly behind their national record. Other Slovenian athletes also secured medals, including Tina Šutej in pole vault and Eneja Ozbič Primc in rhythmic gymnastics.
