The article reports on the preparations of Slovenia's volleyball team i-Venta for the upcoming competitive season. Over twenty players, including five new recruits such as Danish representative Hjalmer Elmbaek Madsen and Bosnian-Herzegovinian representative Danilo Vuković, gathered at Tabor Hall for their first training session. The team has filled the gap left by six players who moved to other clubs. Coaches Sebastijan Škorc and Alen Krajnc led the session, which included members of the coaching staff and club director Gregor Prišenk. Captain Žiga Donik led warm-ups. Coach Škorc explained that changes were made to improve performance, with players having three weeks off before starting individual training sessions. They plan to train four hours daily and begin friendly matches in three weeks. The team finished fifth in the national league, was eliminated in the quarterfinals of the Slovenian Cup, and performed poorly in the Central European League, though they advanced further in the Challenge Cup.
Slovenian alpine ski racer Neja Dvornik has completed her summer training programme and rehabilitation following a leg injury that significantly shortened her last Olympic season. She is now preparing for the new season with plans to spend the majority of her snow-based training in New Zealand. Dvornik, who competes in technical disciplines, expressed confidence in her current physical condition and readiness for the upcoming challenges. The decision to move her key snow training from Argentina to New Zealand was made after evaluating previous training conditions. The training in Ushuaia, Argentina, was described as less than ideal, prompting a more modest change of location. In New Zealand, Dvornik will stay for approximately one month, during which she intends to complete up to 25 days of skiing. This shift aims to provide additional improvements and a solid step forward in her performance. Dvornik’s summer preparation included two sessions in a ski hall, where she felt comfortable on the slopes and generally better than the previous year. She stated that she feels stronger and physically prepared to enhance her skiing skills on snow. “I feel even better than last year at this time, so I really look forward to going to New Zealand,” she said before departing. A crucial part of her summer schedule was the rehabilitation process following her ankle injury. The recovery went smoothly without complications, aligning with the planned regimen. Dvornik noted that the successful rehabilitation contributed to the smooth execution of her conditioning work. “Thanks to the well-executed rehabilitation, the conditioning phase of my preparations ran practically without issues. Everything went according to plan, so I am very satisfied and happy with my current state.” The days spent on snow in New Zealand are considered highly significant for Dvornik. She emphasized her intention to give maximum effort throughout all 30 days of training, with the majority dedicated to skiing. Upon returning home, the period for European glacier training will quickly pass, and the new season will soon be upon them. “Summer snow training is of critical importance. I am fully motivated to take the next step in my skiing career,” she added. Dvornik's transition marks a strategic adjustment in her approach to seasonal preparation. By choosing New Zealand over Argentina, she aims to leverage different environmental and training conditions to further refine her technique and endurance. Her positive outlook and readiness reflect a renewed focus on achieving competitive success in the coming season. As she prepares to embark on this new chapter, the support from her team and the potential benefits of the chosen location underscore her commitment to continued improvement in her sport.
Glavni trener hokejske ekipe HK Olimpija, Ben Cooper, je v začetku uradnih priprav na novo sezono lige ICE izrazil skrbi glede na možno težavo v novem sezonam. Koordinira trenutne priprave, poudarja pomembnost osredotočenja na sedanjo situacijo in opozorja, da ne smejo razmišljati o nadaljnji tekmovalni poti, kot bi bilo to zmanjšanje težave. Cooper podčrtava, da bo novi sezonam težje kot lani, ker so pričakovanja višja in ekipa ne bo imela prednosti, kot so bile prej. Njegova izjava vključuje tudi pozornost na okrepitve, ki so bile usmerjene v napad, medtem ko obstaja manj sprememb v obrabi. Trener opozarja, da morajo igralci graditi temelje od začetka in da ne bo njihovi poti lažja kot lani.
