Prizadevanja niso bila lahka in v njih smo vkljuëili vse tiste dræave, ki so imele obetavne smuëarske skakalke. Tudi zato smo bili æe od vsega zaëetka organizatorji celinskega pokala v smuëarskih skokih za æenske. Naπ skakalni stadion se ni mogel primerjati z ostalimi prireditelji tovrstnih tekem, zato pa smo imeli srce, prostovoljstvo, dobro voljo, optimizem in vizijo.

F ew people know of the very important role Ljubno played in the history of the fight for women s ski jumping competition and for the right of the women's ski jumpers to compete in the Olympics. These efforts were not easy and we ve worked together with all countries that had promising female ski jumpers. This is also the reason that we were one of the organizers of the Women s Ski Jumping Continental Cup. Our ski jump could not compete with other venues for such events. Despite that, we worked with our courage, volunteers, goodwill, optimism and vision to welcome all guests and attract large numbers of supporters that cheered on the competitors even in the worst weather conditions. There is no sport without supporters. That is why our dreams came true - we were entrusted with the organization of a Women s Ski Jumping World Cup event during its very first season. We are well prepared. Ljubno is welcoming all competitors, their coaches, fis representatives, Ski Association of Slovenia (sas), club representatives, press and other guests.

4 * zgodba / story * * zgodba / story * Ljubno je kot prvi organizator celinskega pokala za æenske naredilo izjemno pomembno propagandno akcijo v mednarodnem merilu. Trnova pot skakalk do olimpijskih iger The Female Jumpers Long and Hard Road to the Olympic Games 6 Prireditelj zgodovinskega prvega svetovnega pokala v smuëarskih skokih za æenske je SSK Ljubno. Na tekmovanje je prijavljenih veë kot 55 tekmovalk iz 14 reprezentanc iz Evrope, Azije in Severne Amerike. Ljubno was the first to organize the women s continental cup, which was an important promotional event internationally. Ski Jumping Club Ljubno is the organizer of the historical first Women s Ski Jumping World Cup event. More than 55 competitors from 14 national teams from Europe, Asia and North America have entered the competition.»eprav se zdi, da se je neænejπi spol s skoki zaëel ukvarjati πele pred kratkim, temu πe zdaleë ni tako. Nekoliko natanënejπi pogled v zgodovino nam namreë pove, da ljubezen deklet do skokov krepko presega sto let in sega v sredino 19. stoletja. Tako nam zanesljivi norveπki viri dajo vedeti, da so se æenske z vrha skakalnic podajale æe od samih zametkov tega πporta leta P va prava zvezdnica smuëarskih skokov je bila avstrijska grofinja Paula Lamberg, ki je leta 1911 skoëila tedaj rekordnih 22 metrov, ta zavidanja vreden uspeh pa ji je uspel kar v krilu. SmuËarske skoke so oboæevale tudi njene kolegice v takrat veliko manj liberalni Norveπki, ki je svojim πportnicam prepovedala nastopati in so se zato lokalnih tekmovanj udeleæevale kar preobleëene v moπke. V petdesetih letih prejπnjega leta so na Norveπkem v æelji, da dekletom prepreëijo ukvarjanje s smuëarskimi skoki, πli celo tako daleë, da so si izmislili znanstveno teorijo, ki pravi, da skoki pri æenskah povzroëajo neplodnost. A nenaklonjenosti in πtevilnim preprekam navkljub dekleta ljubezni do te nordijske discipline niso izgubile in rekordi so skozi leta padali kot za stavo. Na prelomni dogodek, ki je tudi omogoëil organizacijo letos sploh prvega svetovnega pokala za æenske, smo morali Ëakati kar do januarja Takrat je bil na olimpijski skakalnici v St. Moritzu v okviru svetovnega mladinskega prvenstva organiziran sploh prvi πampionat za æenske. Za ponoven dvig prahu ni minilo veliko Ëasa, saj je leta 2006 Mednarodni olimpijski komite (mok) zavrnil uvrstitev æenskih skokov med olimpijske discipline v Vancouvru, kot enega izmed razlogov za svojo odloëitev pa so navedli tudi pomanjkanje svetovnega pokala. Petnajst dam je svojo pravico kasneje odπlo iskat na kanadsko sodiπëe, a je toæbo izgubilo, kar pa ni bilo usodno, saj bodo lahko dekleta po odloëitvi mok-a, sprejeti aprila 2011, prvië nastopile æe Ëez dve leti na olimpijskih igrah v SoËiju. Veliko zaslug za to gre pripisati tudi Slovencem, gospodu Benu Hvali in tekmam na Ljubnem, ki je rodni kraj æenskih skokov na sonëni strani Alp. Zasluge Slovencev so tu ogromne. Ljubno je kot prvi organizator celinskega pokala za æenske naredilo izjemno pomembno propagandno akcijo v mednarodnem merilu. Tu je bil tudi sploh prvi sestanek vseh dræav, ki so imele relativno razvite æenske skoke. Na njem je bil podan cilj, da se povzamejo vse aktivnosti, da æenske lahko skaëejo najprej na svetovnem prvenstvu in nato πe na olimpijskih igrah, ve povedati generalni sekretar ssk Ljubno btc Rajko Pintar. Skakalke so si po trnovi poti, ki so jo skozi zgodovino prehodile, naposled le izborile mesto, ki jim v tej disciplini pripada. Ëe upoπtevamo tudi vse veëje zanimanje javnosti, pa lahko hitro ugotovimo, da prihodnost æenskih skokov πe nikoli ni bila svetlejπa. (rk) Even though it may seem that the fairer sex only recently got into ski jumping, nothing could be farther from the truth. A better look at the history of the sport shows us that girls have loved ski jumping for more than a century and its beginnings reach back into the middle of the 19th century. Reliable Norwegian sources reveal that women first launched themselves of the top of ski jumps almost as soon as the sport gathered steam in T he first true female star of ski Fifteen ladies went looking for justice in jumping was the Austrian countess the Canadian court but lost their suit. This, Paula Lamberg, who set the record however, was not fatal to the movement as ioc at 22 meters in 1911 and achieved passed a decision in 2011 to allow women to this enviable feat while wearing a skirt. Her compete at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. colleagues in Norway also loved ski jumping, A lot of credit for this achievement goes to the even though the much less liberal country Slovenians, mr. Beno Hvala and the competition forbade their sportswomen from competing, in Ljubno, which is the birthplace of women s so they could only participate in local events ski jumping on the sunny side of the Alps. by dressing as men. Slovenians deserve a lot of credit for this. In the nineteen fifties, the Norway s desire Ljubno was the first to organize the women s to stop girls from competing in ski jumping continental cup, which was an important went so far as to concoct a scientific theory that promotional event internationally. Ljubno also claimed that ski jumping causes infertility in hosted the first meeting of all countries that women. However, despite the adversity and had relatively developed women s ski jumping. numerous obstacles, girls never lost their love The goal we set for ourselves at the meeting for this Nordic event and through the years was to do everything that is necessary to enable records were broken one after another. women to first compete in the World Cup and We had to wait until January 1998 for the then at the Olympics, said Secretery General breakthrough that opened the doors for the ssk Ljubno btc, Rajko Pintar. first Women s Ski Jumping World Cup. For After a long and hard road they had to travel, the first time World Female Championship female jumpers finally won their hard-earned was organized in St. Moritz on an Olympic ski place in this discipline. If we also look at the jump during Junior Championship. It did not increased public interest in the sport, we can take long for another controversy to arise. In quickly conclude that the future of women s ski 2006, the International Olympic Committee jumping has never been brighter.

Ste morda deleæni kakπnega 9 Katja KATJA Poæun Poæun * intervju / interview * Upam, da bom na Ljubnem v najboljπi formi! I hope to reach top form in Ljubno! Katja Poæun je osvojila bronasto medaljo na svetovnem mladinskem prvenstvu 2008 na posamiëni tekmi. Na tekmah svetovnega pokala je prvië javno nastopila in osvojila sedmo mesto na sploh prvi tekmi svetovnega pokala v smuëarskih skokih za æenske, ki je potekala 3. decembra 2011 v Lillehammerju. Tako sodi v tisti krog slovenskih tekmovalk, ki bodo v prihodnosti zagotovo tvorile steber slovenske reprezentance. Katja Poæun won the bronze medal in the individual competition at fis Junior Ski Jumping World Championships At her debut in the World Cup, she came in the seventh place at the very first Women Ski Jumping World Cup event on 3 December 2011 in Lillehammer. This places her firmly in the group of Slovenian competitors that will form the central pillar of the Slovenian national team. Katja, sezono ste zaëeli odliëno. Ste z doseæenim zadovoljni tudi sami? Glede na prikazano v poletni sezoni tega nisem priëakovala. Cilji poslediëno niso bili tako visoki, zaradi Ëesar so bili uspehi na samem uvodu zame veliko preseneëenje in spodbuda. Katja, you began the season in excellent form. Are you happy about what you ve achieved? I did not expect the results from what I ve displayed during the summer. As a result, my start of the season was a great surprise and motivation. Kdaj æelite priti v najboljπo formo? Upam, da sredi zime, ko bo domaëa tekma na Ljubnem. Takrat si celotna ekipa æeli skakati kar se da dobro. When do you wish to achieve top form? I hope to reach it in the middle of the winter for the Ljubno event. The whole team wishes to perform as well as possible at that competition. Kakπni so vaπi dolgoroëni cilji? So to morda olimpijske igre? Ciljev si πe ne postavljam. Treba je odskakati vsako sezono posebej. SmuËarski skoki so namreë takπen πport, da se lahko vse obrne v enem dnevu. Æelja je zato predvsem obdræati stalno formo ter zagotoviti, da se bom znala vrniti tudi tedaj, ko bodo rezultati slabπi. What are your long-term goals? Are you perhaps looking forward to the Olympics? I am not setting any goals for myself yet. I need to focus on each season individually. Ski jumping is an unpredictable sport - everything can change in one day. My wish is to stay in form and ensure that I will be able to stage a comeback even when my results are not as good as expected. Z dekleti iz reprezentance preæivite dobrπen del leta. Kako se razumete? Toliko Ëasa smo æe skupaj, da se odliëno poznamo. Dobro se razumemo in nemalokrat se tudi skupaj zabavamo. Tudi tekmovalnosti v ekipi ni prevelike, saj potegnemo skupaj za Slovenijo in smo raje nastrojene proti drugim tekmovalkam. You spend the better part of the year with your teammates. How do you get along? We spend so much time together that we know often party together. The team is also not overly competitive. We join our forces for Slovenia and prefer to compete against other teams. SmuËi ste æe postavili v kot, a ste si nato premislili in se vrnili v skakalni cirkus. Ko sem se odloëila za to potezo, sem bila πe zelo mlada. Nisem vedela, kaj hoëem; bilo je zelo naporno in æelela sem si vzeti Ëas zase. ZaËela sem igrati nogomet, a je ljubezen do skokov prevladala. You have already packed up your skis but later changed your mind to return to the arena. When I decided to quit, I was very young. I didn t know what I wanted. The sport was exhausting and I wished to have some time for myself. I began playing football, but my love for ski jumping prevailed in the end. Je bil po vrnitvi prisoten strah? Prvi skoki so bili narejeni s strahom, ker si nisem znala predstavljati, kako bo, ko bom na vrhu skakalnice. A æe po prvem skoku je bilo bolje, saj mi je trener zagotovil, da nisem pozabila niëesar, zaradi Ëesar sem bila mnogo bolj sproπëena. Were you scared after returning? I was scared during the first couple of jumps as I couldn t imagine how it will be, when I am standing at the top of the ski jump. However, after the very first jump my coach ensured me that I haven t forgotten anything, enabling me to relax. * intervju / interview * Od kje vam ljubezen do smuëarskih skokov? Za ta πport so me navduπili prijatelji. Eden izmed njih je treniral skoke in mi dejal, da moram poskusiti tudi sama. Bilo mi je vπeë, zato sem se odloëila nadaljevati. Where do you get your love for ski jumping? My friends got me into this sport. One of them was a ski jumper and talked me into trying it for myself. I liked it and decided to keep going. Kako pa se odziva moënejπi spol, ko poveste, zaëudenega pogleda? Mnogi priznajo, da sploh niso vedeli, da skaëejo tudi dekleta. VËasih padejo tudi oëitki, da æenske ne morejo skakati, a prav vsi so preseneëeni, ker smo tako pogumne. Veliko jih namreë prizna, da si kaj takega ne bi nikoli upali. (rk) How do the members of the stronger sex respond, when they find out what it is that you do? Are any of them surprised? Many people admit that they ve had no idea that girls also compete in ski jumping. Sometimes, I hear comments that women cannot jump, but everyone is always surprised at how brave we are. Many admit that they d never be able to gather the courage to jump themselves. (rk) foto Aljoša Rebolj

I wish you all the best for the upcoming event. Dragi prijatelji. V veliko Ëast in veselje mi je, da lahko na vas naslovim naslednjih nekaj vrstic. Ko razmiπljamo in govorimo o æenskih smuëarskih skokih, vsi najprej pomislijo na Norveπko, Avstrijo, ZDA in druge dræave. Vendar pa ob tem vedno sliπim tudi pohvale na raëun Slovenije. Ljubno gosti celinski pokal v smuëarskih skokih za æenske æe od samih zaëetkov tekmovanja. Vsako leto znova Ljubno predstavlja vrhunec na koledarju v sezoni æenskih smuëarskih skokov. Pri tem ne izstopata le predanost in navduπenje organizatorjev, temveë tudi slavna imena smuëarskih skakalk iz Slovenije. Kdo ne pozna imen, kot so Katja Poæun, Maja VtiË, Urπa Bogataj, pela Rogelj, Anja Tepeæ in drugih? Slovenija sicer nima najboljπe æenske reprezentance v smuëarskih skokih na svetu - v tem trenutku. Toda vsa ta imena so imena kandidatk za zmago v svetovnem pokalu in morebitnih zvezdnic v tej disciplini. Sezona 2011/12 svetovnega pokala v smu- Ëarskih skokih za æenske je nekaj novega. In prva sezona je kot neæna majhna rastlina, ki potrebuje zaπëito in podporo. Hvaleæen sem organizatorjem v Ljubnem in Slovenski smu- Ëarski zvezi za njihova prizadevanja pri tej mali vendar rastoëi disciplini ter za pomoë pri razvoju gibanja smuëarskih skokov za æenske. Skupaj postajamo moënejπi. In s strastjo ter predanostjo prebivalcev Ljubnega bomo postali πe moënejπi! Dear Friends, It s a great honour and a pleasure to address you with these lines. When the thoughts and talks touch upon women s ski jumping, everybody looks to Norway and Austria, the usa, and other nations. But at the same time, I always hear words of praise for Slovenia. In fact, Ljubno has been a women s Continental Cup competition venue since this Ski Jumping series was first established. Every year, Ljubno is a highlight in the calendar of women s ski jumping. But it is not merely the commitment and the dedication of the organisers that are remarkable but also the famous names of Slovenian female ski jumpers. Who does not know the names such as Katja Poæun, Maja VtiË, Urπa Bogataj, pela Rogelj, Anja Tepeπ or others? Slovenia doesn t have the strongest women s ski jumping team in the World - at the moment. But all these names are the names of potential World Cup winners and future superstars of the sport. The 2011/2012 fis Women s Ski Jumping World Cup is something new. The new series is like a small plant, which requires a lot of dedication and care. I am grateful to the organisers in Ljubno and to the Slovenian Ski Association for their efforts in this small but up-and-coming discipline and for helping us grow the movement of the women s ski jumping. Together, we are getting strong. And the passion and devotion of the people in Ljubno make us even stronger! Gian Franco Kasper Predsednik Mednarodne smuëarske zveze (fis) FIS President Dragi prijatelji smuëanja! Po uspehih æenskih smuëarskih skokov na svetovnih prvenstvih v Liberecu na»eπkem (2009) in v Oslu na Norveπkem (2011) ter na celinskem pokalu za æenske, ki poteka æe od sezone 2004/2005, nestrpno priëakujemo otvoritev letoπnjega æenskega svetovnega pokala v smu- Ëarskih skokih, ki ga bo to sezono sponzoriral Viessmann. Med 11. in 12. februarjem 2012 se bo prva sezona æenskega svetovnega pokala za konec tedna preselila v Ljubno, kjer bo zagotovo deleæna odliëne organizacije in kakovosti vrhunskih prizoriπë SmuËarske zveze Slovenije dolgoletne aktivne Ëlanice mednarodne smu- Ëarske druæine. Ljubno æe od leta 2006 redno gosti æenski celinski pokal, zdaj pa se bo mesto pridruæilo Planici kot prizoriπëe svetovnega pokala v smuëarskih skokih. V imenu Mednarodne smuëarske zveze æelim vsem udeleæencem, zlasti pa ljubiteljem smuëarskih skokov, veliko zabave in odliëno izkuπnjo pri ogledu æenskega svetovnega pokala na Ljubnem. Dear friends of skiing, following the success of women s ski jumping at the fis Nordic World Ski Championships in Liberec (cze) and Oslo (nor) in 2009 and 2011, respectively, and the women s fis Continental Cup series since the 2004/2005 season, we are excited to see the launch of the women s fis Ski Jumping World Cup, which will be presented by Viessmann this season. Between 11 and 12 February 2012, the ladies inaugural World Cup season will have the great pleasure to stage a competition weekend in Ljubno, where they are guaranteed to enjoy the organizational experience and quality of top-class competition venues of the Slovenian Ski Association, a long-term active member of the international ski family. After hosting the women s Continental Cup regularly since 2006, Ljubno will now join Planica as the second Slovenian venue to host a fis Ski Jumping World Cup event. On behalf of fis, I wish all participants - and most importantly, the fans - great fun and a great ski jumping experience at the women s fis Ski Jumping World Cup in Ljubno. 11

7 * pozdravi / greetings * Imamo Planico in imeli bomo Ljubno We Have Planica and Now We ll Have Ljubno * pozdravi / greetings * Odmevna bitka za enakopravnost spolov An important battle for gender equality 12 Tomaæ F. Lovπe Predsednik SmuËarske zveze Slovenije President of Ski Association of Slovenia Imamo Planico in imeli bomo Ljubno. Slovenija je po svetu znana po svoji bogati πportni tradiciji. Ni skrivnost, da velja Planica za zibelko smuëarskih skokov. PrepriËan sem, da bo SmuËarska zveza Slovenije skupaj z Organizacijskim komitejem Ljubno 2012 postavila trdne temelje za to, da postane Ljubno zibelka æenskih smuëarskih skokov. Ljubenci so v preteklosti æe dokazali, da lahko pripravijo tekmovanja za celinski pokal, saj so dekleta z vseh koncev sveta æe mnogokrat nastopila v tem kraju ob Savinji. SmuËarska zveza Slovenije je vloæila veliko truda v pridobitev æenske tekme za svetovni pokal, ki ji bomo v tej zgodovinski prvi sezoni priëa tudi na domaëih tleh. OdloËitev, da organizacijo podelimo Ljubnemu, pa je bila lahka, saj imajo v ssk Ljubno btc veliko izkuπenj pri tovrstnih prireditvah. Pomembno je, da s tekmo svetovnega pokala æivi tudi okolica, zato sem vesel, da je na pomoë pri izvedbi v polni meri priskoëila tudi ObËina Ljubno z æupanom na Ëelu. Le tako lahko priëakujemo tako πportne rezultate kot tudi dobro promocijo kraja in okolice. Na koncu se æelim zahvaliti vsem pokroviteljem, tako slovenske reprezentance kot tekmovanja na Ljubnem, saj brez njihovega prispevka svetovnega pokala na tako visoki ravni ne bi bilo mogoëe izvesti. Tekmovalkam æelim izjemne πportne boje, naπim dekletom pa πe malce πportne sreëe, da pred domaëim obëinstvom doseæejo vrhunske rezultate. We have Planica and now we ll have Ljubno. Slovenia is known across the globe for its sporting tradition. It s no secret that Planica is considered to be the cradle of ski jumping. I am convinced that the Ski Association of Slovenia will work with the Organizing Committee Ljubno 2012 to build a solid foundation and make Ljubno the cradle of women s ski jumping. The residents of Ljubno have shown in the past that they are capable of organizing a Continental Cup event, giving girls from all over the world a chance to compete in this town on the banks of Savinja. The Ski Association of Slovenia has worked hard to get a women s ski jumping World Cup event and bring the historical first season of this competition to Slovenian soil. The decision to entrust the organization of the event to Ljubno was easy, given the extensive experience of ssk Ljubno btc. The success of any World Cup event depends heavily on the participation of the community and I am happy that the Ljubno municipality, spearheaded by its mayor, is fully committed to the project. This is the only way to ensure both great sports results as well as promotion for the town and its community. Finally, I wish to thank all sponsors of the Slovenian national team and the Ljubno event. Without them, it would not be possible to execute a World Cup event on such a high level. I wish outstanding sporting achievements to all competitors and a little bit of sporting luck to our girls, so that they achieve excellent results in front of the Slovenian audience. dr. Janez KocijanËiË podpredsednik Mednarodne smuëarske zveze & predsednik Olimpijskega komiteja Slovenije - zdruæenja πportnih zvez Vice President of the International Ski Federation and President of the Olympic Committee of Slovenia port je ogledalo druæbene stvarnosti. Tako se je vrsto let v Mednarodni smuëarski zvezi in v Mednarodnem olimpijskem komiteju ravno na podroëju smuëarskih skokov za æenske odvijala zelo odmevna bitka za enakopravnost spolov. Po πtevilnih zapletih in polemikah, ki so se razplamtele zlasti v Skandinaviji in Zdruæenih dræavah Amerike, so zahteve po enakopravni uveljavitvi æenskih smuëarskih skokov in njihovi vkljuëitvi v mednarodni tekmovalni sistem postopno uspele. Tako so æenski skoki danes vkljuëeni v zimske olimpijske igre in na nordijska svetovna prvenstva, imajo pa tudi svoj svetovni pokal. Za Slovenijo je to pomembno tako iz naëelnih kot iz πportno prestiænih vidikov, saj imamo kar nekaj izjemno nadarjenih in prizadevnih tekmovalk. Po uspeπni uveljavitvi domovinske pravice v mednarodni smuëarski druæini prvië v zgodovini tekmovanje za svetovni pokal v æenskih smuëarskih skokih gostimo tudi pri nas v Sloveniji na Ljubnem ob Savinji. Upam, da bo to pomemben zaëetek nove uspeπne zgodbe tako v tekmovalnem kot tudi v organizacijskem smislu. Zato naj vsem - tako udeleæenkam kot organizatorjem - zaæelim obilo uspehov in sreëe. Sport holds up a mirror to social realities. To underscore this, a very important battle was fought within the International Ski Federation (fis) and the International Olympic Committee to ensure gender equality in the area of women s ski jumping. After numerous complications and debates, which flamed up particularly in Scandinavia and the United States of America, we witnessed gradual success in the demands for equal treatment of women s ski jumping and their inclusion in the international competitive system. Therefore, women s ski jumping is now a part of the Winter Olympics and Nordic World Championships and there is now also a World Cup competition. For Slovenia, this is important both as a principle as well as an opportunity to increase our sporting prestige, as Slovenia has a number of extraordinarily talented and hardworking competitors. After successfully exercising our national rights in the international skiing family, Ljubno ob Savinji will for the first time host a Women s World Cup Ski Jumping competition. I hope this will be the beginning of a new success story, both in terms of organizational excellence as well as competitive success. Therefore, I am wishing everyone - competitors as well as organizers - a lot of luck and success. 13

Nekatera dekleta so team, who has very high goals for the team s first season in the World Cup. 15 sicer poπkodovana in to sezono ne bodo mogla tekmovati, a ekipa zaradi tega nima nië niæjih ciljev. Matjaæ Triplat is the head coach of the Slovenian national women s ski jumping Although some of the girls are injured and will not be able to compete this year, the team has not lowered their ambitions. V samem skakalnem vrhu! We re Going to the very Top of ski jumping, foto Aljoša Rebolj Prve tekme so æe za vami. Kako ste zadovoljni z odnosom organizatorjev in organizacijo samo? Je morda Ëutiti manjπo mero profesionalnosti kot na tekmah fantov? Sploh ne. Organizacija je bila enaka tisti na moπkih tekmah. Sicer imamo drugega koordinatorja, a tekme potekajo na istih objektih in z isto podporo, tudi kar se tiëe tehnologije. The first events are behind you. Are you satisfied with the organizers attitude and the organization itself? Do you feel they are any less professional compared to the work they do at men s events? Not at all. The organization was the same as with men s events. We have a different coordinator, but the competitions take place in the same venues and we are provided the same support. They also use the same technology. Vaπe varovanke na tekmah svetovnega in celinskega pokala odliëno nastopajo. Ste z njihovimi doseæki zadovoljni? Z uvodno etapo sem zadovoljen, malo manj pa s samo tehniëno izvedbo, saj so se tu pokazale doloëene pomanjkljivosti. To moramo odpraviti v nadaljevanju sezone. Your protégées achieved excellent results in World Cup and Continental Cup events. Are you pleased with their achievements? I am satisfied with the initial stage, although I am a little less happy about the technical execution, as certain shortcomings have become evident. We must work on overcoming them during the season. Na kakπni stopnji so dekleta v primerjavi s konkurentkami? Na uvodni tekmi v Lillehammerju so blestele AmeriËanke, ki imajo opravljenih po 150 skokov. Tako so za sabo pustile celo Evropo, vkljuëno s skandinavskimi dræavami. A pretirane drame iz tega ne gre delati, saj je bilo podobno æe v lanski sezoni. On what level are the girls compared to their competitors? At the initial event in Lillehammer, the American team stood out unsurprisingly, as individual jumpers have performed up to 150 jumps. They beat all European jumpers, including the Scandinavian countries. But we should not make too big of a deal out of this as the same happened last year. Kakπni uspehi bi vas osebno zadovoljili? Ti so verjetno bistveno viπji, kot jih imajo dekleta. Zaradi poπkodbe nam manjka naπa najboljπa tekmovalka, Eva Logar, s katero bi se zagotovo lahko borili za najviπja mesta. Upam, da bomo πe stopnjevali naπe nastope in sezono konëali med najbolj uspeπnimi dræavami. What kind of results would please you personally? I probably set our goals much higher than the girls. Due to injuries, we are missing our best competitor, Eva Logar, with whom we could have certainly competed for the top places. I hope we can keep improving on our results and end the season as one of the most successful countries. So dekleta æe dosegla svoj vrhunec ali njihov nadaljnji dvig forme πe sledi? Ker je bila decembra samo ena tekma za svetovni pokal, smo se osredotoëili na januar in februar, ko je bistveno veë tekmovanj. Zato vrhunec priëakujem v teh mesecih. Have the girls reached their top form yet or are their best results yet to come? As there was only one World Cup event in December, we remain focused on January and February, when many more competitions will be held. So I expect them to peak during these two months. Boste formo stopnjevali tudi za domaëo tekmo svetovnega pokala v Ljubnem? Na to tekmo se nismo posebej osredotoëili. V tem obdobju bomo na solidni ravni, a je treba zdræati tudi do mladinskega svetovnega prvenstva, kar je naπ glavni cilj, saj imamo dokaj mlado ekipo. (rk) Will you also work on improving their form for the home World Cup competition in Ljubno? We haven t focused on this event in particular. We will be in solid shape during that period, but we must also make it to the World Junior Championships, which is our main goal, since we have a relatively young team. (rk)

10 18 Punce se naglo pribliæujejo fantom The girls are quickly catching up to men. Primoæ Peterka je po konëani izjemno uspeπni πportni karieri postal pomoënik glavnega trenerja slovenske æenske skakalne reprezentance. In kaj pravi o spremembi iz tekmovalca v trenerja? * * intervju zgodba // interview story * * * intervju * zgodba / interview / story * * Following his extremely successful sports career, Primoæ Peterka became assistant head coach of the Slovenian women s national ski jumping team. What does he have to say about this change from competitor to coach? Za πportne laike so æenski smuëarski skoki precejπnja neznanka. Katera je najveëja razlika v primerjavi z moπkimi smuëarskimi skoki? Na prvem mestu je tu tradicija, Ëeprav æenski skoki niso ravno nov πport. Æenski skoki se trenutno razvijajo z nadsvetlobno hitrostjo. Vse dræave so zelo resno poprijele za delo in napredek je dobro viden, saj so zaostanki za fanti vse manjπi. To a sports layman, women s ski jumping is a relatively unfamiliar subject. What is the biggest difference compared to men s ski jumping? Firstly, I would say tradition, even though women s ski jumping is not really a new sport. Currently, the sport is developing at the speed of light. All the countries have been doing serious work and their progress is clear so their results are not trailing the men s as much. Kako je s skakalno tehniko pri æenskah? Se ta kaj razlikuje od tiste pri moënejπem spolu? Je zelo podobna, a je treba upoπtevati, da je konstitucija æensk in moπkih zelo razliëna. Dekleta πe ne morejo skakati tako kot fantje. Niso tako eksplozivne in moëne, so pa zato bolj agresivne. What about the women s ski jumping technique? Is it different than that of the men? It is very similar, but it should be said that the female constitution is very different from the male. Women cannot yet jump in the same way as men do. They do not have the same physical and explosive strength, but are more aggressive, however. After packing up your skis, you decided to become a coach. When I was younger, I claimed I will never do this, but after the season was over, it seemed like the logical choice. So when the opportunity came up, I welcomed it with open arms. Kako se znajdete v tej vlogi? Zdaj mi je æe laæje kot na zaëetku, a sem na skoke zaëel gledati povsem drugaëe. Nikoli se ne bom nehal uëiti. How do you like your new role? It is easier now than it was in the beginning, because I started to look at ski jumping from an entirely different perspective. I will never stop learning. Tekom kariere ste bili bolj ali manj vajeni moπke druæbe. Kako se znajdete v druæbi deklet? Na potovanjih je zelo podobno. Kot jaz nekoë se tudi dekleta v kombi usedejo izmuëena, tako da je hitro mir. Na treningu pa vsekakor πteje le resen pristop in punce to tudi dobro vedo, saj drugaëe paë ne gre. Tu vsekakor πteje le Ëisti profesionalizem. (rk) In your career, you were used to male company, more or less. How do you find yourself among girls? When we are travelling, it s very similar. Just like I was, the girls are very tired when they sit in the van, so it gets quiet fast. During training, only a serious approach counts, and the girls are well aware that this is the only way. Only pure professionalism will get you results. (rk) 19 Po tem, ko ste smuëi postavili v kot, ste se odloëili za delo trenerja. Ko sem bil mlajπi, sem trdil, da tega ne bom storil nikoli, po konëani sezoni pa se mi je to zdela logiëna izbira. Ko se mi je ponudila priloænost, sem jo sprejel z odprtimi rokami. foto Aljoša Rebolj

En izmed njih je obisk Term Topolπica. V tem sodobnem zdraviliπëu vas bo kombinacija termalne vode, srednjegorskega podnebja in zdravniπkega osebja spravila v red. V zimskem Ëasu vam je na voljo notranji bazenski kompleks. Poleti se lahko v vodnem parku sonëite na terasi, prepuπëate vodnim mehurëkom in obraëate v prelivajoëih se bazenih. Otroci bodo medtem vriskali ob spuπëanju po toboganu. Telo in duha vam bodo poæivile razliëne savne ter oljne aroma masaæe z vonjem po limonski travi ali grozdnih peπkah. Vse leto se lahko v pokritih bazenih kopate tudi v Velenju. V velenjski RdeËi dvorani se nahajata dva bazena razliënih velikosti. Z vodnimi uæitki vas bodo razvajali tudi v hotelu Golte, kjer bosta zunanji in notranji masaæni bazen poskrbela za mehurëkaste Ëarovnije. Seveda pa ni lepπega kot Ëofotanje v skritih tolmunih rek Savinje in Drete, kjer njuni vrtinci poskrbijo za svojevrstno masaæo, ribice v globini pa za nepozabno ægeëkanje. You have many options at your disposal, when you are gripped by an unstoppable desire to leap into water and let the bubbles give you a massage. One of them is to visit the Terme Topolπica spa. This modern health spa brings together thermal waters, a mid-mountain climate and healthcare professionals to ensure your well-being. In the winter, you can dip into the indoor swimming pool park. In the summer you can sunbathe on the water park terrace, enjoy water bubbles or lounge in overflowing pools. In the meantime, your kids will be screaming as they zoom down the waterslide. Your spirit and body will soar with the help of aromatherapy massages with scents of lemongrass and grape seed oils. All year round you can swim in indoor swimming pools in Velenje. The Red Hall in Velenje holds two swimming pools of different sizes. Hotel Golte also offers different water pleasures with indoor and outdoor swimming pools to ensure that there s always enough bubbling magic. Of course, there s nothing better than splashing around in the hidden river pools of Savinja and Dreta rivers, where the whirlpools provide a unique massage and the fishes will tickle you in the deep.

For kayakers, the most interesting part is the upper part of the river between the Rogovilc guesthouse and Igla. Between Struge and Ljubno, the river expands into wonderful stream pools, where visitors can cool off or argue with the fishes. This portion of the river is seven kilometers long and the most attractive for visitors. Between Ljubno and Mozirje, the river becomes more suitable for rafting. During the summer months, the water level is low but the most Soteskanje foto Arhiv tic Luče persistent can catch some sun rays, take a swim or have a picnic on the gravelly river banks. Canyoning is another sport that has recently gained in popularity. In the Logarska dolina valley and around LuËe experienced guides will help you discover hidden ravines that are suitable for abseiling and jumping into river pools. If you d rather have wind propel you along the water, you can visit the Velenje lake, where you can use a surfboard, a catamaran or a small sailboat. For an even more relaxed experience you can rent a paddle boat or enjoy carefree rowing in a boat. Raftanje na Savinji foto Arhiv tic Luče

14 As we thoughtfully stare through a window and the first gentle snowflakes begin falling, we know that the time for winter joys has come again. And as we are rummaging through our dusty storage to find our skis and ski boots while wondering where to hit the slopes, our thoughts turn to Golte. Ski center Golte is located on a high Karst plateau and covers the area of fifty hectares. The twelve kilometers of skiing trails include four kilometers of beginner runs, seven kilometers of intermediate runs and a kilometer of runs for advanced skiers. Kadar zamiπljeno zremo skozi okno in priëne prav nalahno»e vam bolj kot smuëanje prija sprehajanje, si na noge nataknite Zimske radosti Winter Joys Terme Topolščica foto Arhiv Terme Topolščica naletavati prvi neæni sneg, vemo, da je znova nastopil Ëas za zimske radosti! In ko v zapraπeni shrambi iπëemo smuëarske Ëevlje in smuëke ter se spraπujemo, kam bi πli polagat zavoje, pomislimo na Golte. * regija / region * Golte se na visoki kraπki planoti razprostirajo na petdesetih hektarjih. Na dvanajstih kilometrih smuëarskih prog nas Ëakajo πtirje kilometri laæjih, sedem kilometrov srednje zahtevnih in kilometer teæjih prog. To je tudi priljubljen raj za deskarje na snegu. Na Golteh imajo trisedeænico, dve dvosedeænici, sidro, vleënico s kroæci in tekoëi trak za najmlajπe smuëarje. Lahko si tudi izposodite smuëarsko opremo ali pa najamete inπtruktorja ter vsem pokaæete, kdo je pravi mojster. Dostop do smuëiπëa in hotela vodi iz vasi Æekovec, od koder vas nihalka pripelje naravnost v recepcijo hotela Golte, ki leæi na 1410 metrih nadmorske viπine. Hotel je bil zgrajen leta Do tja se lahko odpravimo tudi po panoramski cesti skozi vas mihel. Manjπa smuëiπëa najdemo tudi v Logarski dolini, LuËah in na kmetiji Loæekar v Matkovem kotu. Na sneg se lahko odpravite tudi v Gornjem Gradu. In Ëe ste eden od tistih ljudi, ki bi radi smuëali πe poleti, nikar ne mislite, da ste edini - tu namreë obratuje tudi poletno smuëiπëe z dvestometrsko æiënico. Za smuëarski tek so na voljo πtevilne proge. Najbolj znana je 14 kilometrov dolga kroæna pot po Logarski dolini, pet kilometrov dolga tekaπka proga pa na smuëarske tekaëe Ëaka na Golteh. Ob dobrih sneænih razmerah oæivijo tudi proge okoli Velenjskega jezera, ki se vijejo na njegovi juæni strani. Krpljanje na Komnu foto Arhiv Občine Ljubno Tek na smučeh v Logarski dolini foto Marko Slapnik krplje. Vodniki vas lahko popeljejo po Kamniπko-Savinjskih Alpah, Golteh in aleπki planinski poti. OdloËite se lahko za enodnevne izlete ali veëdnevne ture, pri katerih boste utrujeni prespali na gorskih koëah. Bolj razposajenim je na voljo sankaliπëe v Logarski dolini med slapom Rinka in planπarijo Logarski kot. Spomladanski meseci in neskonëne bele planjave. Tiπina gozdov in samo ena sled - vaπa. Na turne smuke se odpravite kondicijsko dobro pripravljeni, saj bo teæa smuëk, ki jih je potrebno prinesti do izhodiπëa smuëanja, zahtevala veliko energije. Vendar boste s smuko po neraziskanih poteh Golt, Smrekovca in Okreπlja na koncu doæiveli pravo zimsko radost. Turno smučanje foto Arhiv TIC Luče It is also a paradise for snowboarders. Golte has a threeseater chairlift, a pair of two-seater chairlifts, T-bar and platter lifts and a ski carpet for the youngest skiers. You can also rent skiing equipment or hire a ski instructor and show everyone who the master of the slopes is! The ski center and the hotel can be reached from the Æekovec hamlet from where the cable car takes you directly to the reception desk of hotel Golte, which is located at 1,410 meters above sea level. The hotel was built in 2010 and can also be reached by a panoramic road that takes you through the mihel village. Smaller ski slopes can also be found in Logarska dolina and at the Loæekar farm, which is located in Matkov kot. You can also ski in Gornji Grad and if you re one of the people, who also want to ski in the summer, don t be fooled into thinking you re alone. Here you will find a dry ski slope with a 200-meter lift. Several tracks are available to cross-country skiers. The most famous is the 14-kilometer circuit in Logarska dolina while a 5-kilometer trail will attract many cross-country skiers to Golte. In good snow conditions, the trails that twist around the southern part of the Velenje lake also come to life. If you prefer walking to skiing, put on your snowshoes. The guides can take you across the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, Golte or the aleπka valley trail. You can choose either a day trip or take a multi-day expedition and sleep in mountain lodges. Those, who prefer to just have fun, can take to the toboggan run in Logarska dolina, located between the Rinka waterfall Turno smučanje foto Arhiv TIC Luče and the Logarski kot mountain lodge. Spring months and endless white slopes. Silence of the woods and a single trail - yours. Before embarking on a ski touring trip, make sure you are in excellent condition. The weight of the skis you need to carry to the starting point will require a lot of energy. But after skiing across undiscovered trails of Golte, Smrekovec, Velika planina and Okreπelj, you will experience the true joy of winter.

For a bird s-eye view of the winding road through Logarska dolina you can paraglide from the slopes under the SolËava panoramic road. Paragliders are attracted by thermal columns at the launch points in Golte, Lepenatka, Olπeva and on the Menina planina mountain. But if you d rather see the vast pastures and woods from the back of a horse, you can rent horses at several farms and gallop or just trot around. If you re not used to galloping, the Equestrian Club Velenje will take care of you and teach you how to successfully control your stubborn friend. Jahanje foto Arhiv TIC Luče Mountain passes, cool forests, colorful meadows and isolated mountain bike trails will become a treasured memory.

A more demanding task is the 21.5-kilometer entjaπka pot route around Velenje, where you can catch a view of different natural and cultural heritage sites. A varied, 24-kilometer trail of medium difficulty that crosses the Graπka Gora hill attracts many mountain bikers. If you prefer longer rides, you can take any of the solitary forest trails to Paπki Kozjak. If you prefer easier climbs, take the bike route leading you past the lakes of the aleπka dolina valley. Just make sure not to be tempted by the smell of tomatoes and strawberries as you ride past the Kunta Kinte garden settlement. Kolesarjenje na Golteh foto Arhiv Golte

16 * zgodovina / history * * pokrovitelji / sponsors * Ljubno - kraj, ki æivi s smuëarskimi skoki Ljubno - a town that lives with ski jumps FIS sponzor / FIS Sponsor InfotoËke Infopoints 30 Inæenir Stanko Bloudek, konstruktor ene prvih smuëarskih skakalnic na Ljubnem leta Engineer Stanko Bloudek, constructor of one the first ski-jump hills in Ljubno in 1947 Ljubno je kraj v zgornji Savinjski dolini, le dobro uro oddaljen tako od Ljubljane kot od Maribora, ki sluæi kot vrata v preëudovito Logarsko dolino in æe dobrih osemdeset let æivi tudi s smuëarskimi skoki. P rvi poskusi skokov so se namreë tam zgodili æe pred drugo svetovno vojno, ko je Jaka Voduπek s svojimi vojaπkimi smuëmi izvedel eksperimentalne poskuse, ki bi jim danes lahko rekli smuëarski skoki. Do danes, ko ima SSK Ljubno v moπkem svetovnem pokalu tudi svojega reprezentanta Primoæa Pikla, se je tam na tem podroëju zgodilo marsikaj. Od leta 1947, ko so z znamenitim planiπkim skakalnim konstruktorjem, inæenirjem Stankom Bloudkom, podpisali pogodbo za gradnjo 60-metrske skakalnice, so se naprave nenehno dograjevale in izpopolnjevale. V zaëetku tega tisoëletja so naprave dobile πe plastiëno podlago in razsvetljavo, s Ëimer so v Ljubnem nastali eni najboljπih pogojev za treninge in tekme v smuëarskih skokih v Sloveniji. NajveËja naprava, ki omogoëa skoke Ëez 100 metrov, je zgrajena po pravilih FIS, zaradi Ëesar ne Ëudi, da se bodo februarja 2012 tam pomerile najboljπe skakalke na svetu. Ljubno is a town in the upper valley of the Savinja river and is a good hour s drive away from both Ljubljana and Maribor. The town straddles the gate to the wonderful Logarska dolina valley and has lived with ski jumping for more than eighty years. F irst attempts at ski jumping took place here before the World War II. Jaka Voduπek put on his military skis to perform experimental attempts that could be referred to as ski jumping. A lot has happened between then and now, and today SSK Ljubno even has its own representative in the men s World Cup competition - Primoæ Pikl. In 1947, a contract to build a 60-meter ski jump was signed with the legendary ski-jump hill engineer Stanko Bloudek from Planica. Since then, the ski jumps were constantly upgraded and improved. At the beginning of this millennium, the ski jumps were fitted with plastic grass and lighting, which makes Ljubno one of the best places to train and compete in Slovenia. The largest ski jump, which allows for jumps of more than 100 meters, is designed in accordance with FIS rules, so it s no surprise that in February, the hill will host the best women ski jumpers in the world.
